Manchester City (29-6-3, 93 points) cemented its place within the English Premier League elite Sunday by capturing its fourth title in just five years, rallying from a two-goal deficit to defeat Aston Villa 3-2 in the closing moments of the final match of the 2021/22 Premier League season at the Etihad Stadium. Meanwhile, FC Bayern Munich (24-5-5, 77 points) captured its record-breaking 10th consecutive Bundesliga title earlier this season and prepares to face Man City for the second time in North America.

The club captured its record-breaking 10th consecutive league title in 2021/22 and is considered one of the world’s most successful sports organizations on and off the field. In April 2014, FCB opened its first international office in the U.S. to engage with the millions of fans living in the Americas. Following the success of the first international venture, the club opened an office in Shanghai in March 2017 and Bangkok April 2022.
