The City defender was the captain of the group that won their fifth title of 2023 by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-fluminense/bltd73aa8b0a90f6597" target="_blank">defeating Fluminese 4-0</a> in Saudi Arabia. Even though it was obviously a happy occasion for the Cityzens, the England defender still found himself in a tussle with Melo after the match. Walker had to be restrained by his teammates, including Jack Grealish, as well as Man City's backroom staff after being shoved by Melo at the full-time whistle. Fluminense's frustrations had been building over the second half of the match, mostly because of City's superiority, with tempers flaring after the 90 minutes.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The game's standout performers were Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez, who combined for three of the four goals and added to an own goal by Nino to formally proclaim City as the finest team in world football. With the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League left to play for, City will be eager to add another spectacular haul to their trophy cupboard over the second half of the season. That trophy is their second of the season thus far, after their UEFA Super Cup victory.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Alvarez has now scored 10 goals in 26 appearances for City across all competitions this term.

DID YOU KNOW?

Walker and City will now travel back to England. Pep Guardiola's side don't have much time to celebrate their latest title thanks to a clash against Everton away on Wednesday, December 27. The Cityzens will be looking to carry their success on the world stage into the Premier League, as a recent dip in form saw them fall behind Arsenal and Liverpool in the title fight.
