The International Champions Cup continues giving fans from around the world the chance to watch their favorite players perform in their local stadiums, and tomorrow two of the most influential teams around the world will play against each other: Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Both teams have played one pre-season friendly against Roma, with mixed results between them. Los Blancos were not able to score against the Giallorossi, and ended up losing in a penalty shootout. Days later, the Sky Blues also drew their game against Rudi Garcia's side, but ended up winning the game after the shots from the spot were taken.
Real Madrid will have most of their stars available for this match, including Luka Modric, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. Meanwhile, coach Rafa Benitez may be thinking about giving Kiko Casilla his first minutes as Real Madrid's shot-stopper, after his signing a few days ago. Benitez needs the victory to support his job with Los Blancos, since fans around the world are dubious about their team's chances with the former Liverpool boss leading them.
On the other side of the pitch, Manchester City will try to keep their good game after their victory over Roma. Coach Manuel Pellegrini will face his former team with the help of some marquee names as Raheem Sterling, David Silva or Samir Nasri. Sterling might be particularly motivated about facing Real Madrid, given the Spanish giants were keen on signing the Jamaican born player before the Citizens penned a deal with him. Sterling's first three minutes with the Sky Blues were electrifying, as he was able to score his first goal wearing his new colours shortly after coming into the pitch.
Real Madrid will have one more tuneup game against Inter Milan, while the Citizens will keep preparing their 2015-2016 season elsewhere.
