Al-Hilal head coach Simone Inzaghi says that his side’s 4-3 victory over Manchester City at the FIFA Club World Cup was like ‘climbing Everest with no oxygen’, but is delighted with what he saw

Al-Hilal secured a spot in the quarterfinals in sensational fashion with a dramatic 4-3 victory against Manchester City on Monday, scoring twice in extra-time to produce arguably the biggest shock of the Club World Cup so far.

Simone Inzaghi has beaten one of the best in the business at the third attempt as Al-Hilal have sent Man City crashing out of the Club World Cup in the Round of 16. He holds his counterpart in high regard, but poured most of his praise on his players, who "climbed a mountain without oxygen" to win.
