Guardiola happy after Man City win against Girona

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was happy with their 2-0 friendly win against Girona.

Goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland sealed the victory in our first match since 12 November, with the Blues set to return to competitive action against Liverpool next Thursday.

As well as Haaland and De Bruyne, first teamers Stefan Ortega Moreno, Rico Lewis, Sergio Gomez, Ilkay Gundogan, Cole Palmer and Riyad Mahrez also featured.

They were joined in the starting XI by EDS players Jadel Katongo, Shea Charles and Morgan Rogers and Guardiola was happy with what he saw.

“It was really good," he said.

"It was the first game after a really long time and it was good for players who haven't played much and for players like Erling, Riyad and Sergio who haven't played at all.

“They were good minutes for them and for us all and we played against our friends from Girona, so it was good."
