Manchester City will look to wrap up their visit to Japan with a victory against Spanish side Atletico Madrid.
The English heavyweights have had a thunderous tour in Asia with two victories against Yokohama F Marinos and Bayern Munich. Goals from James Mcatee and Aymeric Laporte secured the reigning Premier League champions a scintillating victory against the German outfit.
Pep Guardiola would want his side to produce another exemplary performance before the Sky Blues return to Manchester for a small block of training at the Etihad. Man City will then prepare themselves to face Arsenal in the Community Shield next week at the Wembley Stadium in London.
Meanwhile, Diego Simeone's clouded future at Atletico Madrid has been cleared with El Cholo tipped to manage Los Rojiblancos for another campaign.
Atletico Madrid have signed several names in this transfer window and Simeone would want to test the new arrivals before returning to Spain. Losing back-to-back to Turkish side Besiktas in April and K-League XI in July, Atletico Madrid have a daunting task lying in front of them and they'll have to find their answers before a new campaign of La Liga kicks-off.
