Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was happy with his side’s display against Borussia Dortmund despite the 1-0 defeat in Chicago.
Mario Gotze scored the only goal of the pre-season clash from the penalty spot after Oleks Zinchenko had brought down Christian Pulisic.
The majority of Guardiola’s squad are on breaks after their World Cup exploits but new signing Riyad Mahrez made his first appearance for the club against the Germans in a youthful line-up.
Guardiola told the club’s official website after the game: “We did many good things. It is really good for the future. We played against one of the best teams in Germany and we did many good things.
“We spoke in the week about courage, intensity and a desire to play. The players did very well and I am so satisfied with the performance of these guys.”
