Manchester City beat Atlético Madrid 3-1 in Seoul friendly

Manchester City defeated Atlético Madrid 3-1 in a preseason friendly held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in South Korea. The match featured the debut of South Korean international Lee Kang-in for Atlético Madrid, who entered the game as a substitute in the second half.

Atlético Madrid took an early lead in the 43rd minute through 16-year-old Jorge Domínguez, who scored following a corner. However, Manchester City responded aggressively in the second half. Omar Marmoush scored twice within two minutes, in the 57th and 59th minutes, to turn the match in favor of the English side. Rayan Aït-Nouri added a third goal for City in the 90th minute to finalize the score.

The match, part of Manchester City’s 2026 Asia Tour under new manager Enzo Maresca, drew approximately 50,000 spectators. While the result provided a boost for City, it marked a second consecutive preseason loss for Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid.
