Manchester City coach Josep Guardiola praised the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup tournament in the USA.

According to the Catalan, fans should not be surprised by the unexpected results.

"I really enjoy watching South American teams compete against Europeans and other continental teams. I respect their defensive work.

All matches are extremely tough, and people are surprised that European clubs experience defeats. So, welcome to reality, my friends.

Let's not forget that Brazil has won five world champion titles, and for the last 3-5 years, Argentina has been ruling football, winning the World Cup and the Copa America tournament," Guardiola explained.
