Sky Sports Champions League •

Man City impressed in a 3-1 friendly win over Atletico Madrid in Seoul, with Enzo Maresca's tactical ideas beginning to take hold. The plan to get the ball to wingers Savinho and Antoine Semenyo was clear, with the pair taking on their markers and charging for the Atletico box at every opportunity.

Semenyo delivered the end product, twice setting up Omar Marmoush for close-range finishes in quick succession in the second half. City had been trailing to Jorge Dominguez's opener, a goal scored by the 16-year-old wonderkid just before half-time after a corner was half-cleared.

City sealed their deserved victory in added time when sub Rayan Ait Nouri made up for a one-on-one miss with a good finish from Divin Mubama's pass. Having already drawn with Inter Milan and beaten a K-League All Stars side, City return to the UK for the Community Shield looking in good shape.
