Pep Guardiola described City's pre-season friendly with AC Milan as 'a step forward' in our preparations for the 2024/25 campaign.

City were edged out 3-2 by the Rossoneri in front of a sellout crowd at New York’s Yankee Stadium.

However, the boss felt our display was a big improvement on City’s first pre-season clash against Celtic in North Carolina.

With the squad continuing to regain sharpness and no injuries to report, Guardiola was positive about what he’d seen against AC Milan.

“We were better than the first game and some of the players made a step forward.

“It was really good in general, everyone was really good against a senior Champions League team like AC Milan.

“It was a step forward, no injuries, minutes in our legs, another test and now we fly to another game in a few days.”
