Omar Marmoush brace and Antoine Semenyo masterclass see Manchester City brush aside Atletico Madrid

Manchester City continued their impressive pre-season preparations with a dominant 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. Antoine Semenyo emerged as the star of the show, providing two sublime assists for Omar Marmoush to turn the tide in favour of Enzo Maresca's side.

Man City’s tactical evolution under Maresca took another significant step forward in South Korea as they dismantled Atletico Madrid in a clinical second-half display. The Premier League champions showed flashes of brilliance throughout the contest, but it was the introduction of direct wing play that eventually broke Diego Simeone’s resolute defensive structure. Semenyo was the primary architect of the victory, terrorising the Atletico full-backs with his pace and power on the left flank. His contribution was pivotal, proving to be the difference-maker in a match that City largely controlled despite falling behind in the first half.
