City were the only team in the tournament to win all three of their group games and they will hope to carry that momentum into their last-16 outing in Orlando.

Unlike Chelsea, who are trying to add a final flourish to a 2024-25 season in which they won the Conference League, City have been trying to make a fresh start in the United States.

Manager Pep Guardiola has viewed the competition as the start of a new campaign in order to make a clean break from what was a frustrating past year.
