Barça And Man City Treat Fans To An Exciting 3-3 Draw In Charity Match

Barcelona and Manchester City treated fans to a thrilling friendly encounter which ended in a 3-3 draw at the Spotify Camp Nou on Wednesday.

The Citizens twice came from behind to save Pep Guardiola’s blushes.

Julian Alvarez put Man City in the lead in the opening stages before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and De Jong struck to put Barcelona in front.

Cole Palmer scored a tap in to make it 2-2 but substitute Memphis Depay put the hosts noses in front once more to set a scintillating end to the game.

Erling Haaland won a controversial penalty in the dying embers and Mahrez was on hand to convert the resulting penalty to make it 3-3.

It was a charity game organized to raise funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) awareness in honour of former Barcelona player and coach Juan Carlos Unzue, who was diagnosed with the condition just over two years ago.

Xavi and his Premier League counterpart named their strong sides for the game which was played in front of 91,062 spectators.
