Manchester City were back on familiar ground on Thursday as our men’s first team squad trained at the City Football Academy.

Having returned from Barcelona, where we played out a 3-3 draw in a charity game with the Catalan giants, Pep Guardiola’s men now turn their attentions to Saturday’s Premier League game against Crystal Palace.

The defending champions had brought the Spanish sun back to Manchester with them and were hard at work in preparation for a tough test against Patrick Vieira’s side at the Etihad Stadium.
