Live Updates: Manchester City vs. Barcelona in Orlando
Manchester City faces Barcelona at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, aiming for their first victory on their United States pre-season tour. The match kicks off at midnight UK time (7pm local time).
City’s previous encounter with Barcelona was in August 2022. In their most recent friendly, City suffered a 3-2 defeat to AC Milan, with Marco Nasti netting the decisive goal just over 10 minutes from time. This followed a 4-3 loss to Celtic, adding pressure on Pep Guardiola’s squad to secure a win as they prepare for their first competitive fixture of the season against Manchester United in the Community Shield on August 10.
The clash with Barcelona is crucial as it marks the midpoint of City’s US tour. They will play one more match against Chelsea this weekend before heading back to the UK. Erling Haaland, who has scored in the last two friendlies, will be eager to continue his streak.
