MANCHESTER City picked up their first trophy of the season as they held in to beat Sevilla 5-4 in a penalty shootout and win the UEFA Super Cup after the 90-minute game ended 1-1.
The UEFA Super Cup victory will be the first for the Manchester club, who have now won 15 trophies under Pep Guardiola since he took charge of the club in 2016, as they make up for their loss against Arsenal in the FA Community Shield final.
Speaking after the game, Manchester City forward, Jack Grealish told reporters what the win means to the men in Blue.
“The manager made it so clear to us before the game how much he wants to win this trophy,” Jack Grealish said.
“You want to win everything anyway, but that gave us more of an urge. This club has never won it. It’s a brilliant feeling,” he added.
City, now with a trophy at hand, will switch focus to their next game on Saturday in the Premier League against Newcastle United, who are more than capable of cutting the citizens' celebration short.
