WESTMINSTER, Md. - Roughly 30 players and staff members from England's Manchester City Football Club team dropped by Ravens training camp to get a sample of America's version of football.
The soccer players tried their hand at both kicking and throwing an NFL rules football.
Friday's visit was just just a respite before the team faces off against European Champion Inter Milan at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday.
Saturday's match will mark the second consecutive year in which teams from two of Europe's top soccer leagues will compete against one another in Baltimore.
Last summer, Chelsea Football Club defeated A.C. Milan 2-1 in a friendly at M&T bank Stadium.
