The match was tied at 1-1 until 86 minutes. However, Americ Laporte fought for City at the last minute. 20-year-old English midfielder James McAtee put City ahead in the first half of the match. Matthias Tell equalized Bayern in the 81st minute. However, after 5 minutes, the treble winners won the match by taking the lead again.
The goal of both teams in the match was to get as many players as possible to play. The city replaced everyone except goalkeeper Ellson. Earling Holland, Rodri, Joao Cancelo, and 10 people came to the field from the bench. Among them, Cancelo played on loan from City to Bayern Munich in the last part of last season. Cancelo had to leave City at that time mainly because of a dispute with Pep Guardiola.
On the other hand, Bayern picked all 11 as substitutes. They even replaced the substitute player. In the 45th minute, Paul Warner came on for Kingsley Coman. He was picked up again on 83 minutes. Gabriel Vidovic was also taken off after being fielded in the same way.
City played Kyle Walker, who was rumored to leave the club in a change of team, from the beginning of the match. After the break, however, Guardiola picked him up and put Cancelo on the field. On the other hand, Bayern also played Sadio Mane, who was on the way to leave the club after the break. Entering the field in the 46th minute meant that he could not make any difference in the match. Mane is rumored to be playing in Saudi Arabia's league next season.
Meanwhile, when City is playing in Japan in the preparation match, the European media reports that City has offered 86 million pounds to get Croatian defender Josko Guardiol. Guardiola will become the most expensive defender in history if the English champions agree to this offer. Earlier, Harry Maguire took the title of the most expensive defender from Leicester City to Manchester United for 8 million pounds.
But this is not City's first offer for the Croatian defender Guardiola. A few days ago, City offered 77 million pounds for him. But Leipzig rejected City's offer. What they respond to the new proposal is waiting to be seen.
