The Story in Brief
Omar Marmoush scored twice as Manchester City came from behind to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 in Seoul, their final pre-season friendly. City fell behind before half-time when 16-year-old Jorge Dominguez finished past Gianluigi Donnarumma after a set-piece was not cleared.
Marmoush equalised in the 57th minute from Antoine Semenyo's cut-back and scored again two minutes later. Atletico's Lee Kang fired wide on his debut before Rayan Ait-Nouri sealed the win late on. City now face Arsenal in the Community Shield in seven days.
The Indian Opinion
Pre-season results are noise, but Marmoush's sharp finishing says something with Erling Haaland away. The noise that matters is the lazy take that City will collapse without Haaland. This squad has depth, and Maresca is finding it. The real test comes at Wembley against Arsenal, not in a Seoul friendly. Watch how City's attack functions without Haaland against a serious defence. That will settle the question.
