Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola expressed his happiness with his team's performance following their 5-2 victory over Juventus in the last round of the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The coach said: "I liked the way we played. It's been a long time since we delivered a performance at this level, both with and without the ball. The players were committed, and we are happy to win against a great team."

Guardiola added: "It's just one match, but I think the players felt again what it means to be part of a good team. Confidence doesn't come from the past, but from current performance."

Regarding Rodri's return, Guardiola said: "We missed him a lot. He knows exactly what to do with the ball and has a strong personality. I didn't expect him to play that many minutes, but he will be ready for the next match."

The City coach concluded his remarks by praising everyone: "Everyone delivered an amazing performance today."
