Manchester United - 2008 

Almost a decade after they turned their back on the FA Cup to compete in the first-ever Club World Cup, Manchester United became the first English winner of the competition by lifting the trophy in Yokohama. 

After earning their spot with 2008's Champions League win over Chelsea, United saw off Gamba Osaka in the semi-final with a comfortable 5-3 win and went on to face Ecuadorian side LDU Quito in the final. 

It was then Wayne Rooney who etched his name into the competition's folklore by netting the only goal of the game to add another trophy to the Sir Alex Ferguson dynasty. 

Cup final winning team: Van der Sar, Rafael (Neville), Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Anderson (Fletcher), Ronaldo, Park, Tevez (Evans), Rooney 

Liverpool - 2019

Held in the winter and seen as a test event for the upcoming 2022 World Cup, Qatar was the setting for Liverpool's only FIFA World Club Cup win in 2019. 

Their 2019 Champions League win saw them earn their spot in the competition and would defeat Monterrey in the semi-final thanks to a Roberto Firmino winner, which set them up for a final meeting with Flamengo. 

In the showpiece, it was once again Firmino who was the difference, scoring an extra-time winner for Jurgen Klopp's men. 

Cup final winning team: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Djik, Roberton, Keita (Milner), Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Lallana), Salah (Shaqiri), Firmino (Origi), Mane 

Chelsea - 2021

Thomas Tuchel's short reign as Chelsea boss saw two major continental wins - including this FIFA World Club Cup triumph in Abu Dhabi. 

The Blues edged past Saudi champions Al Hial in the semi-final thanks to a Romelu Lukaku goal and it set up a second England vs Brazil finale in three years. 

This time, it was Palmerias, but it was Lukaku again who made his presence known, opening the scoring before Chelsea's Champions League-winning hero Kai Havertz repeated the trick by tucking home a penalty in extra time to seal the victory. 

Cup final winning team: Mendy, Christensen (Ziyech), Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Kante, Kovacic (Sarr), Hudson-Odoi (Werner), Mount (Pulisic), Lukaku (Saul), Havertz 

Manchester City - 2023

Fresh off a season where Manchester City nabbed a historic treble, the silverware continued to reign as they added the FIFA Club World Cup to their list of accolades. 

City made light work of it too, first defeating Urawa Red Diamonds 3-0 in the semi-final before a thumping victory over Brazilian side Fluminense saw them take home the trophy. 

Julian Alvarez scored a brace either side of a Nino own goal and Phil Foden's strike to see Pep Guardiola win the competition for a third time with a third different club. 

Cup final winning team: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones (Gvardiol), Ake (Bobb), Lewis (Kovacic), Rodri (Akanji), Silva, Foden (Nunes), Grealish, Alvarez
