Man City

Follow every kick of Manchester City's trip to Camp Nou with our dedicated live score updates from the charity fixture.

The atmosphere was already building and has gone up a notch as the Barcelona keepers have come out to warm up. Barcelona have enjoyed the majority of possession and have created three clear chances, but City are looking to calm things down a little now. He starts, as expected, and that is a big call in itself from Guardiola. Barcelona have sold 87,000 tickets tonight and there will be around 1,500 away fans in the stadium. City execs have dismissed any suggestion this week that the player would leave when questions have been shouted in their direction and it is a show of strength to play him here tonight from the beginning. This has pre-season vibes from City and well it might given most of the players have not seen much action in the opening weeks of the campaign. Have your say in the comments section below. They'll all be hungry and eager to make a case for more first-team involvement going forward. City have been on the back foot, but Stefan Ortega has looked very accomplished both with his hands and feet. At the other end, Foden has shown one or two neat touches during the opening minutes. That was a gift of a goal for Alvarez, but it was more good work from Sergio Gomez, who has started very well at left-back. He leaned back a little on that one, but in truth it was not a million miles away.

Kalvin Phillips, Sergio Gomez and Rico Lewis all start against Barcelona as Pep Guardiola utilises his squad to full effect.

Football Insider has been told by Gabriel Agbolahor that losing Nathan Ake to injury will be a "blow" to Man City but insisted they have options for cover.

Yes, Newcastle did but other teams sort of try and park the bus against City. “There’s Kalvin Phillips who can come in and play there as well. When asked how big a blow it will be for City to lose Ake, Agbonlahor told Football Insider: “I think it will be a blow but I think Man City are the sort of team that will be fine.

Erling Haaland absolutely loved Kevin De Bruyne's amazing assist during Man City's 3-3 draw vs Newcastle.

It’s alright when these footballers are great passers and keep possession well, but this lad scores goals, he makes goals, he defends, his passes are brilliant. He does everything.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City might have been a showcase for the Premier League, but what it showcased wasn't much to be proud of.

The issue is with a league that was specifically set up to hoard money for a small number of clubs, but which has found that once the genie of applying unrestrained free market economics is let out of the bottle, competition becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. The issue is with governing bodies who allowed this to happen, with their only significant interest being their own control of the game and internal politicking. But getting angry with the fans over any of this is probably futile and mis-directed. But no-one has even been asking Newcastle supporters to ‘give up’ their club, just as never happened with Manchester City, PSG, Chelsea, or any other clubs bought out and fattened by the money of a state. Even on the sliding scale of offences committed by the owners of football clubs, this was hardly A couple of relegations followed by promotions straight back as winners of the EFL Championship? This sort of derision does seem to be the language of the modern age. A club which, prior to the intervention of hundreds of millions of pounds of oil money, hadn’t won a major trophy since 1976 and which hadn’t won the league since 1968 was suddenly in amongst the trophies again. The names of these football clubs now represent something different for the 21st century; they’re brand names being used to launder reputations, a vision of a future in which light entertainment is packaged in such a way that it obscures the behaviour of those who own these particular means of production. On paper, Newcastle United vs Manchester City should have been one of the most enticing games of the early season. No-one hates Sunderland to the same extent that many hate Manchester United and Liverpool, and while having local rivals so unpopular among rival fans has proved to be good for City, no such security blanket exists for Newcastle. To gain the respect and admiration of your peers for your own success is one of the smaller pleasures of winning, but it is a pleasure nevertheless.

[Palmer](https://www.mancity.com/players/cole-palmer) had a fine chance to double the lead six minutes later after more sloppy Barcelona defending, but after intercepting the ball on the edge of the box and cutting inside a challenge, he fired over the bar and the chance was gone. [Palmer](https://www.mancity.com/players/cole-palmer) levelled late on, only for Memphis Depay to put Barca ahead once again, but a late Riyad [Mahrez](https://www.mancity.com/players/riyad-mahrez) penalty ensured the 92,062 fans got their money’s worth in this high-profile charity fundraiser.

Barcelona drew 3-3 against Manchester City in a club friendly at the Camp Nou on Wednesday, with Riyad Mahrez scoring a last-minute goal from the spot.

This time, Riyad Mahrez made no mistake to execute a calm finish ending the match all-square after 90 minutes if tense football. While the result of the match looked sealed, a last moment penalty conceded by Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen gave Man City a chance to equalise for the second time in the match. In the second half, Frenkie De Jong scored from a Memphis Depay assist in the 66th minute, while it took just four minutes for Guardiola’s side to make a comeback.
