UEFA SUPER CUP: Again Man City Win, Defeat Sevilla On Penalty 5-4 After 1-1 Draw
Manchester City returns in midweek action as they take on Sevilla in the Uefa Super Cup this evening.
Pep Guardiola tutored men triumphed in the thl Champions League final against Inter Milan back in June, securing a treble in the process, and setting up this one-off match against the Europa League winners.
Sevilla are City’s opponents tonight after the Spanish outfit won the Europa Leagu, yet again, by beating Jose Mourinho’s Roma. They are well versed in Super Cup games having lost four of these matches of the last nine seasons while tonight’s game will be City’s first appearance in the Super Cup.
The Champions League winners have a second chance in three games to collect some silverware after they were beaten on penalties by Arsenal in the Community Shield at Wembley 10 days ago. In the interim they got their Premier League season off to a wonderful start with a victory 3-0 over Burnley and will hope to return to Manchester with another trophy under their belt.
