Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says the club is excited to take part in their first Club World Cup.

City's first match in Saudi Arabia will be on 19 December against either Mexico's Club Leon or Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds.

Guardiola said, "We've never been there as you had to win the Champions League, first time we have done it. I think the players [will be ready]. I have been there a few times before, the first game is so tricky.

"People talk about the final but I struggled with Barcelona it was not easy to do it. The first against an Argentine team was so difficult, we won in 1992... We will go there and prepare because for us it is a dream."

He added: "The mood in the team is the best I can remember for many, many years. It's really good, it's a joy to manage this group of players."
