Manchester City are preparing for their upcoming last-16 fixture with Al Hilal, as they attempt to continue their journey in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Manchester City are set for their next Club World Cup match where they'll meet Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal. They easily claimed the first spot in their group, with a 2-0 win over Wydad, then a 6-0 against Al Ain and topped it off with a 5-2 victory over Juventus.
Due to their comfortable run to the top of the group, that meant they would play the runners up of Group H, which were Al Hilal. Meanwhile, Juventus will play group H winners, Real Madrid.
The match between the English side and the Saudi Arabian club takes place on Tuesday, the 1st of July in the UK, at 2:00 in the morning.
It will be quite the game, with both sides giving their best in the tournament so far.
The winner of this fixture would move into the quarter-finals, where they'd either meet Inter Milan or Fluminense in bid to become semi-finalists.
Ruben Dias
"We're happy but it means what it means. It means only that we're first in the group and that we went through."
“And now it’s almost like a new competition starting from tomorrow. I know they're a very good team and we'll need to be on our best level. And it will definitely be a difficult one."
Pep Guardiola
"If they compete against Real Madrid how they competed, it's because they are a good team."
"At the same time, the last two days I have been most concerned about looking at my team and being consistent."
"This is the main target. Being recognisable for ourselves and the future."
