Manchester City

The Champions League winner played its first exhibition match in Japan. Manchester City beat Yokohama Marinos 5:3 in an attacking style at Tokyo's Olympic Stadium. By the 37th minute, the team was trailing 0:2 but scored four times in a row. Stones, Alvarez, Rodri, and Erling Haaland scored a double for City.

Manchester City met Bayern Munich in Tokyo and also won. This time, though, the English team had a much tougher time. Young midfielder James McAtee opened the scoring on 21 minutes. City failed to build on their lead and eventually allowed their opponents to get back into the game - Mathis Tel hit Ederson's goal in the 81st minute. A good thing for Manchester City; five minutes later, Emerick Laporte headed in Phil Foden's pass, bringing the team a difficult victory - 2:1.

Among the transfers of Manchester City in the off-season, we should note the transfers of Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona and Riyad Marez to Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli. The top acquisition so far is Chelsea and Croatia midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

Atletico Madrid

The team has played only one match so far in the offseason. In Seoul, where Madrid will also play against Manchester City, Atletico beat a team of Korean league stars. Tom Lemar led the Spaniards in the first half, and the main events took place in the second half. The Koreans leveled the score in the 50th minute. In the 85th, Atletico took the lead again through the efforts of young midfielder Carlos Marten. But before the end of the game, Madrid managed not only to lose the lead but even lost - 2:3. The Koreans scored on 89th and 90+4.

In the off-season, Atletico finally bought out Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona and signed many defenders - César Azpilicueta as a free agent, Xavi Galan from Celta, Santiago Mourinho from Uruguayan Rasinga, Chaglar Soyunju from Leicester. Mateus Cunha, Renan Lodi and Joffre Kondogbia have left Atletico.
