A young fan turned pop star Rihanna into a photographer for a brief moment after he asked her to click a picture of him with Jack Grealish and Christian Pulisic. The singer was in New York to watch Manchester City take on AC Milan in a pre-season friendly on Sunday.
The Rossoneri beat the Premier League champions in a thrilling 3-2 encounter, powered by a double from Lorenzo Colombo. Erling Haaland and James McAtee were the goalscorers for City, who lost for the second game in a row.
In a video that surfaced online, City’s Grealish and Milan’s Pulisic could be seen taking a picture with Rihanna, just when a kid, tucked away in a Milan jersey, comes up to her and hands her a phone, asking “We Found Love” hitmaker to snap a few clicks for him with the stars.
The popstar gladly took the phone, sat on a chair, and took a few pictures. Two more kids joined the frame as cheers rang inside the room, making for a wholesome moment.
Manchester City begin new season on 10 August
The Premier League champions officially kick-start their 2024-25 campaign with a clash against city rivals Manchester United in the Community Shield. It’s a rematch of last season’s FA Cup final, which United won 2-1 to avenge their loss at the same stage of the competition last year. With City going through a rough patch in the pre-season, failing to win any of their three games so far, it will be interesting to see if the Red Devils pull off another upset.
