Club football returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Atletico Madrid lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in an intriguing fixture at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday.
Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City Preview
Atletico Madrid finished in third place in the La Liga standings last season and have been inconsistent over the past year. Los Colchoneros slumped to a shock 3-2 defeat at the hands of K-League XI in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Manchester City, on the other hand, won the treble last season and have been in emphatic form over the past year. The Cityzens edged Bayern Munich by a 2-1 scoreline last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.
