Around 80,000 people gathered at Yankee Stadium on Saturday to see a Norwegian celebrity. They got what they wanted, but perhaps not what they expected.
McAtee scored the equalizer, boosting his prospects for the month and justifying Guardiola’s decision to keep him on the team. Similarly, Bobb has been enhancing his chances by scoring a few goals this month.
Despite a significant Italian presence in New York, most of the 46,000 attendees supported Manchester City. With covered baseball bases occupying a quarter of the field, the iconic baseball venue was an unusual setting for football.
Before the match, Pep Guardiola had an extensive conversation with Milan manager Paolo Fonseca, followed by a brief chat with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. On Friday, he met Andre Agassi in New York. Zlatan might have been next on his agenda.
Ibrahimovic used to be the main draw in a place like Yankee Stadium, but these days, Haaland is the big attraction and has been performing well. He took a break in New York at the halfway point of the match.
However, in the US, it’s Bobb who has been consistently delivering standout performances.
