Pep calls for mental reset after Al Hilal shock

Al Hilal’s Italian coach Simone Inzaghi hailed his “extraordinary” team after their stunning 4-3 extra-time win over Manchester City at the Club World Cup in Orlando.

“We knew we had to do something extraordinary if we were to beat Manchester City, and that is what the boys did tonight.

“The lads were simply wonderful,” said Inzaghi after the tournament's biggest shock.

“We had to climb Everest without oxygen to win the game - and we made it. All the players were exceptional, in the possession phase, the non-possession phase,” added the former Inter Milan coach, whose previous club were defeated by Fluminense just hours earlier.

Marcos Leonardo was Al Hilal’s hero, scoring twice, including the winner in extra time.

City had taken the lead through Bernardo Silva, but Al Hilal struck twice early in the second half.
