Manchester City’s countdown to Christmas 2017 got underway in frantic fashion as a  Gabriel Jesus shot hit Moonchester in the face.

The Brazilian was joined by John Stones, Leroy Sane, Tosin Adarabioyo, Karen Bardsley, Georgia Stanway and Mike Summerbee to kick off the Club’s festive campaign.

Surrounded by giant City themed versions of classic games like Guess Who, Monopoly and Top Trumps, a game of football broke out amongst the Christmas decorations, with poor Moonchester in the unenviable situation of taking a Jesus shot to the face!

From today, the full Christmas 2017 retail line, which includes two of the much-loved Christmas jumpers, as well as the Club-themed board games, will be available online and at all official Manchester City stores.

For every Christmas jumper sold, City will donate an additional £5 to the Club’s official Foundation, City in the Community. For over 30 years, City in the Community has been using the power of football to empower better lives.

The City festive range is on sale at now at mancity.com/shop.
