There haven’t been any first-team matches this week – but there’s still been plenty going on behind the scenes at Manchester City.

This week’s episode starts in Abu Dhabi. Last Friday, a few of our players got involved in a kickaround with the UAE special Olympics team. John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne were among the players showcasing their talents.

And then it’s back to the CFA, where the Argentina national team have been training all week. It’s been a privilege to host Lionel Messi, the greatest player of all time.

There’s Champions League action as the women’s team beat Linkoping, and England’s U19s have also graced the Academy Stadium, losing 1-0 to their Argentinian counterparts. 

So, sit back and enjoy a recap of an unusual week here at the CFA!
