Super Cup Success Does Not Mask Cracks In Manchester City's Facade
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 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.
