The irony of Vincent Kompany missing his own testimonial due to injury would not have been lost on many people, but aside from that the match did throw up some ammunition for this week’s '10 Things You Might Have Missed' from the world of football, including the real reason Pep Guardiola didn’t fancy Joe Hart...
Paul Skills – The Manchester United legend showing that, while management might not be for him, you don't lose that touch on the pitch. Class.
Smaller Than Average Joe – You know what they say about small hands...
Snipered – FIFA 20 taking the realism to the next level. We're now looking forward to the addition VAR to infuriate gamers while the ref delays each goal by five minutes.
Tuned Out – The Andorran national anthem was played by mistake last week when France hosted Albania. The players refused to kick the game off until the real one was played. Never anger the Albanians. Has the Stade de France stadium announcer never seen Taken? Get Liam Neeson on the blower asap. Things are about to get messy...
Fully Stacked – Head of academy goalkeeping at Watford, Graham Stack is starting up front for Watford at the weekend. They need goals. He does goals. Done.
Thunder Bolton – On a serious note it's good to see them getting back off the canvas. A goal is coming... soon.
Pick Up A Penguin – And people say Guardiola hasn't had an effect on Antarctic football...
Professor Mikel – He's probably got us on strings here, but if he has fallen for it then it's superb.
Must-afi Be Joking – 95% of everything negative on Twitter is made up of Liverpool and Arsenal fans moaning.
Craptain Morgan – "It doesn't bother me one bit, honestly, it doesn't..."
Magic Football – Sounds like something you'd hear on the terraces at Slytherin away in the Quidditch Cup 3rd round.
That'll do. Jog on. Enjoy your weekend. Tweet more weird stuff so we can do this all over again next week.
