England Euro 2022 winners Keira Walsh, Lauren Hemp, Chloe Kelly, who scored the winning goal against Germany in the final at Wembley, goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck and City captain Alex Greenwood were all in the starting line-up.
Also included in the team was Matilda Mary Fowler, while compatriots Hayley Raso and Alanna Kennedy were among the substitutes.
Demi Stokes was on the bench along with former England skipper Steph Houghton, who did not make the Lionesses' final Euros squad following Achilles surgery.
Khadija Shaw gave City the lead after just four minutes when she converted a cross from Hemp before the Jamaica international headed home her second of the match in the 21st minute.
Hemp added a third in first-half stoppage time before City struck three more late on through Vicky Losada, Deyna Castellanos and an Aytaj Sharifova own goal.
City go on to face Real Madrid on Sunday after the Spaniards saw off Sturm Graz 6-0.
