The Premier League champions started the better of the two sides with England Under-21 international Jack Harrison making an impression in the final third but at the other end, City were indebted to Michael Bolton making a timely block to prevent a Dortmund opener.

There was a healthy crowd of 34,629 inside Soldier Field and although a young City side held their own early on, Dortmund created the better chances with Gotze pulling the strings together with Pulisic. Mahrez was City’s best player, a decent run and cross midway through the first half showcased his attacking threat.

But on 28 minutes, the Germans were ahead. Alex Zinchenko, who is set to leave the club before the start of the English domestic season, brought down the lively Pulisic in the box and Gotze beat Bravo from the spot before Alexander Isak almost made it two soon after.
