Manchester City drew 2-2 with Barcelona in their latest pre-season friendly after the game was delayed by an 80 minute weather warning.
Jack Grealish secured a draw for Manchester City against Barcelona in an entertaining 2-2 draw.
City were twice behind in Orlando in a game which was delayed by 80 minutes due to a severe weather warning amid thunder and lightning in Florida. Pep Guardiola’s side twice came from behind to earn a share of the spoils in their third Stateside match.
In the final minutes, both teams had chances, but neither were able to punch through. The most notable chance came in the first minute of injury time when Lewandowski’s breakaway was snuffed out by last-ditch City defending.
With the score level at 2-2 at the final whistle, the game went to a penalty shootout. Barça took an early lead as Lewandowski coolly converted the first penalty and Ander Astralaga saved City’s initial attempt. Noah Darvich and Alejandro Balde scored the next two for Barça, while Astralaga continued his heroics by saving City’s second penalty.
With Barça leading 3-0 in the shootout, City finally put one in the net, but it was too little, too late. Toni Fernández stepped up to seal the victory, making it 4-1 for Barça.
