Arsenal had another fixture added to their preseason schedule after Manchester City won the Champions League with their 1-0 win over Inter Milan earlier this month. The victory meant a number of things for both teams for their schedules but the one which affected both was the clash at Wembley the weekend before the start of the new Premier League season.
Both sides will face-off in the Community Shield. Man City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has admitted the importance of continuing to win these silverware accolades despite of the treble they just secured.
“You look at next season and guess what? Look what we have next year," he said.
