After a strong opening match, European champions Manchester City will face UAE side Al Ain in the second matchday of Group G at the 2025 Club World Cup. Here's everything you need to know.

Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, opened their campaign with a solid 2–0 win over Wydad Casablanca, thanks to goals from Phil Foden and Jérémy Doku. Despite the red card shown to Rico Lewis, the English side showcased their depth and tactical discipline.

For the second match, Guardiola is expected to rotate some names without altering the team’s signature style of controlled possession, high pressing, and sharp finishing. Key players like Erling Haaland, Rodri, or Bernardo Silva could play a more prominent role this time.

Al Ain, coached by Vladimir Ivić, arrives with the pressure of having lost 5–0 to Juventus in their tournament opener. The Emirati side must earn at least a point to stay alive in the race for the next round.

With experienced players like goalkeeper Rui Patrício and attackers Kodjo Fo-Doh Laba and Soufiane Rahimi, Al Ain will aim to tighten their defensive shape and strike on the counter.
