THAT'S A WRAP! 👋
With the MDL team heading off, that's my cue to call it a day too!
It's been my absolute pleasure to guide you through the game and we look forward to welcoming you back on Sunday, with our next Matchday Centre live from 10:00 (UK).
Until then, have a wonderful rest of your week, Blues! 🩵

HARDEST GAME TO COME
Arguably our final pre-season game will be the toughest as we now focus on taking on Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.
But, they will also be hindered by first-team players taking a well-deserved break from the summer.
Either way, it's another clash in which we see two incredible teams take centre stage and with it being the final opportunity to catch Maresca's eye, the players will be itching to perform at their best.

ADRENALINE WEARING OFF
Well nearly an hour after full-time the buzz of an impressive outing from 22 City players is beginning to calm down now.
The amount of talent, from first-team players and Academy players, was so exciting, refreshing and just enjoyable to watch.
And to think we have more talent waiting in the wings to return from the World Cup is making me impatient and ready to see the season start.

MORE ON CITY+
And if you'd like, later on on Saturday, you can tune into the first pre-season fixture for the Women's team.
They travel to Fiorentina for a 18:00 (UK) kick-off, with every moment of that match also available on CITY+.

WHAT'S TO COME?
On Saturday, the day before our final pre-season Tour, the team will be training in Seoul and you'll be able to tune in live on mancity.com and the Official Man City App.
Maresca will also take part in another press conference to preview our friendly with Atletico Madrid.

Maresca press conference 🗣️
The boss was asked for his thoughts on Reis, he said: Vitor is working very well. I am happy with him. The only thing is for most of the young players here with us, the plan is to finish pre-season and then take the final decision,. And we will take the best decision for them, not just us.

DEFENDER DEBATE
The guests on MDL are now discussing what City's back line could look like this season.
So my question to you is, what would your centre-back pairing be?
Personally, I really like the potential around the Khusanov and Gvardiol pairing.
