Al-Hilal Ends Guardiola's Record
After an astonishing streak of 11 consecutive victories for Spanish coach Pep Guardiola in the FIFA Club World Cup, Saudi club Al-Hilal came to put an end to this record, inflicting the veteran coach's first loss in the history of the global tournament.
Al-Hilal qualified for the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup after defeating Manchester City 4-3 early this morning, in the round of 16 of the competition.
The defeat came as a stunning surprise, especially since Guardiola had never lost any match in the Club World Cup, whether with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, or Manchester City, making this fall historic by all standards.
With this achievement, Al-Hilal proves itself once again as an Asian and global force capable of competing with the giants of Europe, while Guardiola and his team must regroup after this unexpected setback.
