While Mary Earps of Manchester United claimed the top honor at the glamorous event on Tuesday night, City, their crosstown rivals, garnered substantial acclaim for their historic year marked by a treble win. Haaland emerged as the 2023 World Sport Star, while his manager secured the Coach of the Year accolade. Kyle Walker, the captain, accepted the Team of the Year award on behalf of his teammates.
As City is presently engaged in Club World Cup duties in Saudi Arabia, Haaland, Guardiola, and Walker delivered brief speeches via video for the ceremony.
The 70th edition of this prestigious award ceremony showcased another impressive night for football, with the sport dominating the four primary awards. Earps claimed the spotlight, following in the footsteps of last year’s winner, Beth Mead. City and Guardiola took the mantle from England’s Lionesses and manager Sarina Wiegman in their respective categories, while Haaland joined the ranks alongside last year’s victor, Lionel Messi.
Sir Kenny Dalglish, the legendary figure from Liverpool and Celtic, received well-deserved recognition with the Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring his exceptional contributions as a player and manager.
City’s triumph seems likely to continue this week, as their easy victory over Urawa Red Diamonds secured their spot in the Club World Cup final for the first time. Guardiola’s squad is set to face South American champions Fluminense in Jeddah on Friday, with the prospect of more trophies on the horizon.
