Pep Guardiola took his Manchester City team to face his old club, Bayern Munich, in a pre season friendly at the Allianz arena.

These two reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last campaign, and many of the stars who got them there would not be on the pitch. With that in mind, the Spanish coach and his Italian counterpart, Carlo Ancelloti, used this as an opportunity to test out some of their young talent. 

15 minutes in, Bayern nearly take the lead but Austrian international David Alaba can't beat Willy Caballero from 6 yards after a nice interchange with Frank Ribery.

The Citizen's best chance comes with 20 minutes to go when teenage fullback Angelino puts in a decent cross that Wilfred Bony knocks the wrong side of the post. 

The deadlock is broken on 75 minutes. Tosin Adrabioyo's clearance falls into the path of Erdal Ozturk after hitting the referee and the youngster's shot takes a wicked deflection to give his team the lead. 

An unlucky goal for the EPL side to concede. Gael Clichy is the man who inadvertently diverts the ball past his own keeper, Angus Dunn, and its 1-nil Bayern. 

And that is how it stays, a good run for the young players from both teams. Next up for City is a trip to China to face Borussia Dortmund and then rivals Manchester United.
