Manchester City and Sevilla FC meet this Wednesday in the UEFA Super Cup (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information about this match.
After a smooth debut in the Premier League, Manchester City have the opportunity to collect a first title in this new fiscal year 2023-24. Author of a fantastic Champions League-championship-FA Cup treble last season, the formation of Pep Guardiola rubs shoulders with FC Sevilla, winner of the Europa League, to try to lift their first trophy this season. A shock that she tackles without her Belgian maestro Kevin De Bruyne, seriously injured and absent for several months.
Unsurprisingly, Guardiola spoke very cautiously at the dawn of this meeting against an opponent he holds in high esteem. “To play here, you have to do extraordinary things. Win the Champions League or the Europa League. It is not easy. Sevilla have a special character, it’s something in their DNA that makes this team different. They will be dangerous against us. You can’t imagine how happy we are to play the Super Cup because we won the Champions League. Who knows when we’ll be back here to win this tournament? “.
