Jack Grealish missed the Newcastle game with a knock, and while he traveled to Spain for the match, his status is unclear. The 55-year-old also took charge of Celta Vigo and Girona before his health forced him to retire. He overlapped with Guardiola at the club from 2007-2010 before being hired to manage Numancia. 110 mins to kick: While the match itself will benefit ALS research, Barcelona are also promoting another cause with their third kit, which will debut in this match. Lionel Messi was also a recipient of the award earlier in 2022, becoming the second footballer to earn the award after Johann Cruyff. The Gabonese striker does find the starting lineup, with Lewandowski on the bench. 86 mins to kick: Man City boss Pep Guardiola hinted that he could use this friendly to test new tactics, but more importantly, new players in the squad. Each manager has named a strong squad for the event, with the teams expected to feature top players in support of ALS research. Robert Lewandowski scored his first two Barcelona goals in that bounce-back win, including his first 44 seconds into the game. Pep promised first-team players would be involved, but the starting lineup is a little disappointing from that regard. Cole Palmer starts in midfield, with youth team players Ben Knight, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Luke Mbete, and Oscar Bobb available off the bench. 60 mins to kick: The Man City lineup comes through first.

[Mahrez](https://www.mancity.com/players/riyad-mahrez) and Joao Cancelo, with the latter’s overlapping run and low cross turned home by Cole [Palmer](https://www.mancity.com/players/cole-palmer). [Mahrez](https://www.mancity.com/players/riyad-mahrez) thumped the ball into the top right corner to make it 3-3 on a night when a huge amount of money was raised for the Luzon Foundation and research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), highlighted by former Barca keeper Juan Carlos Unzue who was diagnosed with ALS in 2020. [Luke Mbete](https://www.mancity.com/players/luke-mbete) suffered a head injury in the closing moments and had to be stretchered off. [Kalvin Phillips](https://www.mancity.com/players/kalvin-phillips) just before the hour-mark as he seemed to aggravate his shoulder after a challenge and was forced to come off as a result. [Palmer](https://www.mancity.com/players/cole-palmer) had a fine chance to double the lead six minutes later after more sloppy Barcelona defending, but after intercepting the ball on the edge of the box and cutting inside a challenge, he fired over the bar and the chance was gone. [Palmer](https://www.mancity.com/players/cole-palmer) levelled late on, only for Memphis Depay to put Barca ahead once again, but a late Riyad [Mahrez](https://www.mancity.com/players/riyad-mahrez) penalty ensured the 92,062 fans got their money’s worth in this high-profile charity fundraiser.

It was also a night to remember for 18-year-old midfielder Dylan Kadji, who had earlier put the Robins in front on what was his senior debut. Victory was then assured in stoppage time as Tommy Conway ran through on goal before squaring the ball for fellow substitute Antoine Semenyo to walk into the net. Callum Styles saw his first-half penalty hit a post and felt he should have had another spot-kick in the second period. Everton will travel to Bournemouth and Newcastle, who saw off League Two Tranmere on Wednesday, will host Crystal Palace in the other all top-flight encounters. Sinisterra won a first-half penalty, converted by Mateusz Klich, and after Mads Andersen had headed Manchester City face Chelsea and Manchester United will host Aston Villa in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
