For Savinho, Manchester City’s journey in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 represents more than just another competition — it marks a fresh chapter filled with renewed hope and determination for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Following a difficult and often frustrating 2024/25 campaign, City now have the chance to start anew. The team will kick off their tournament on Wednesday against Wydad AC of Morocco at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, with kickoff set for 17:00 (UK time).
The squad has been hard at work in the United States since last Thursday, fully focused on the opening fixture in Group G. With 32 of the world’s best clubs vying for the prestigious title, the competition promises to be both intense and inspiring.
“For us, this is where the new season truly begins,” said an eager Savinho. “My teammates, the coaching staff, and I are all really excited about this tournament. We’ve trained hard, prepared thoroughly, and we’re fully ready to step onto the pitch tomorrow.”
Reflecting on the previous season, Savinho acknowledges the importance of learning from past mistakes while keeping his focus firmly on the future. “Last season is behind us; we can’t change it. What matters now is what we do moving forward,” he explained. “We’ve taken the lessons on board, but it’s also important to let go and concentrate on what lies ahead. That journey starts tomorrow.”
This tournament also signals the beginning of Savinho’s second season in City colors, following his transfer from Girona last summer. After an impressive debut year, the talented 21-year-old is eager to take his game to new heights.
“I’m really pleased with how my first season went,” Savinho shared. “I’ve grown a lot, thanks to my teammates, Pep, and the entire coaching staff. This year, I’m aiming even higher — I want to score more goals, provide more assists, and contribute even more to help the team achieve its goals.”
With fresh energy and renewed ambition, both Savinho and Manchester City are ready to embrace this exciting new journey at the Club World Cup 2025, determined to leave their mark on the global stage.
