Manchester City's treble winners have added more silverware to their collection, but a UEFA Super Cup victory over Sevilla only exposed some cracks in Pep Guardiola's squad ahead of another demanding campaign. Sevilla had begun their campaign last weekend with a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Valencia and finished 12th in La Liga last season. But the Europa League winners should have picked up another European trophy in Athens. Youssef En-Nesyri's header powered the Spaniards into a first-half lead, but the Moroccan was guilty of missing two huge chances when one-on-one with Ederson after the break.
Pep Guardiola says Manchester City have to re-enter the transfer market to sign a new midfielder in the wake of Kevin De Bruyne's injury, and his stance won't have changed after the Super Cup victory against Sevilla.
Chelsea terus jor-joran dalam transfer pemain. Tapi dari perekrutan sejauh ini, tak ada satupun yang dinilai mampu menembus skuad Manchester City.
Cole Palmer tampil mengesankan di awal musim ini bersama Manchester City. Namun masa depannya masih belum menentu.
Pep Guardiola was keen to stress that for all the turbulence at Sevilla this summer, they have a winning identity in Europe and shouldn't be underestimated. Last season he declared himself envious of Sevilla's European heritage, before they dropped into the Europa League to win the competition again and book their place in the Super Cup. This was the third time Manchester City faced Sevilla in 11 months, with a different manager in the opposite dugout each time.
Pep Guardiola is targeting a "full circle" of trophies as Manchester City boss after winning the club's first UEFA Super Cup with a victory on penalties over Sevilla after a 1-1 draw in Athens.

The European Champions had to come from behind after Youssef En-Nesyri's towering first-half header gave the Spaniards the lead. City were far from their slick best, but hit back to force the game to penalties through Cole Palmer's equaliser.
