A new Man City star, teenage sensations and a GOAT - Who are the Club World Cup star performers from the second round of group games?

Just like that, the second round of group games of the FIFA Club World Cup are done and dusted as we head to the final fixtures with some tasty-looking permutations ahead of the knockout phase.  

Before we can get there, however, we've taken a moment to look back on these past second group game fixtures, which included the Brazilian teams pulling off two big shock results against European sides as well as some familiar names putting their stamp on the tournament. 

Here are six of the best performances from the past week.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) 

It's clear the England skipper was a tad irked that he didn't manage to get on the scoresheet in Bayern's 10-0 rout of Auckland City in their opening game, but Kane more than made up for it in their second fixture. 

The Germans' meeting with Boca Juniors was billed as one of the standout fixtures from the group stage and proved to be a thoroughly entertaining game, but it was Bayern's number nine who made the biggest difference. 

First by breaking the deadlock by being the first to latch on to a loose ball and find the bottom corner, and then later setting up the winner for Michale Olise with a clever little touch into the Frenchman's path.

Big game players turn up for big-time moments, and Kane is the epitome of a big game player.

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) 

With Inter Miami's inclusion in the FIFA Club World Cup, the tournament had been crying out for a moment of magic from the football icon, and he delivered in the MLS side's meeting with Porto. 

It's always nice to see the hosts progress as far as they can in a competition like this, but Miami's progression looked in doubt, locked in 1-1 with the Portuguese side. 

As per his calling card, though, commeth the hour, commeth the man, and Messi made the difference once again. 

Curling in a free-kick like only he can, just before the hour mark to give his team their biggest win in their history. 

Bruno Henrique (Flamengo) 

The Brazilian teams have been the story of the Club World Cup, with neither of the four sides yet to lose a game in the tournament and Flamengo having already qualified for the last sixteen. 

Key to their shock second-half turnaround against Chelsea was substitute Bruno Henrique. The 34-year-old forward was introduced into the action just before the hour mark and made an immediate impact. 

After a first half where Chelsea controlled proceedings, Henrique first equalised for Flamengo before being on hand to set up his side's second just minutes later, as the game was turned on its head. 

Henrique and his team have cemented their place as the surprise package of the tournament so far.

Jobe Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund) 

There was always the possibility of a Bellingham stealing the headlines at this Club World Cup, but little did we know it was Jude's little brother who would be taking some of the plaudits. 

The 20-year-old was given his first start for his new club since his move from Sunderland earlier this month, and he took the opportunity with both hands. 

Bellingham produced an all-action display against Mamelodi Sundowns to give his new fans a glimpse of what he will bring to the Dortmund side, and even capped his performance off by netting his first goal for the club. 

Not to be outdone, older brother Jude then scored for Real Madrid the day after, giving this tournament a real fun sibling rivalry edge to it.

Kenan Yildiz (Juventus) 

The tournament has been the ideal setting for players to make a name for themselves on the global stage and that's exactly what Kenan Yildiz has done thus far. 

The young Turkish international had an impressive season for the Old Lady in Serie A and his now brought that form with him to the United States. 

After netting in the opener against Al Ain, the forward scored twice more in Juventus' 4-1 win over Wydad, putting him alongside the competition's top scorers. 

If Yildiz can keep this hot streak going, then Juve have a chance of really going deep into the tournament once it hits the knockout stage.

Claudio Echeverri (Manchester City) 

Manchester City have used the FIFA Club World Cup to blood in a wrath of brand-new signings over their first two group games, but it's a January recruit who really caught the eye against Al Ain. 

Claudio Echeverri only made his debut for City in last month's FA Cup Final, but he's already showing he has the ability to really excite The Etihad next season. 

He got his first start for the club in their thrashing of the Dubai team and topped it off by producing a peach of a free-kick to score his first goal for Pep Guardiola.
