After meetings with Celtic, AC Milan and Barcelona - we finished preparations stateside with a friendly with the fellow Premier League side.
Erling Haaland‘s dispatched penalty inside the fourth minute gave us the perfect start before the clinical forward doubled our advantage soon after when retrieving possession and firing home.
Pep Guardiola‘s side held our two-goal lead until the interval, but we extended our advantage further when Oscar Bobb arrived into the box, cut onto his left foot and drilled low into the net on 55 minutes.
Buoyed by scoring a third, we then struck again moments later when James McAtee slid the ball into Haaland’s path before he curled into the net for his treble.
The goals kept coming and former City man Raheem Sterling pulled one back for Chelsea on the hour mark with a well-taken volley.
Noni Madueke scored Enzo Maresca’s side’s second in the closing stages but it did little to dampen sky blue spirits.
That represented the game’s last goal as we signed off from our tour of the United States of America in style.
