Training: City are the Torque of the town!

Barely 12 hours after sealing our place in the last 16 of the Champions League, City were back on duty at the CFA on Wednesday morning.

And with attention switched to Saturday’s crucial Premier League trip to Newcastle United, Pep Guardiola’s squad were joined by some interested onlookers.

The squad from Club Atletico Torque – our CFG sister club from Uruguay – are currently over in Manchester after enjoying a fine season of their own which culminated in promotion back to Uruguay’s Primera Division.
