City Kicks Off New Era with Crypto-Sponsored Friendly Against Inter Milan

Manchester City's new era officially kicked off on Tuesday as they took to the field for a pre-season friendly against Inter Milan in Hong Kong. The match, held at Kai Tak Sports Park, marked the beginning of life after Pep Guardiola at the club.

The game saw young striker Divin Mubama score the first goal under new manager Enzo Maresca, who has taken over following Guardiola's departure.

This marks a significant shift for Manchester City, which has become synonymous with big-money partnerships as well as its numerous trophies. The club is now entering a new era that will likely be shaped by these commercial relationships.
