Compared to Manchester City and Sevilla match, Sevilla performed exceptionally well. And during the match I thought Sevilla would normally be able to win the match. But more importantly, Sevilla's attacking players missed something spectacular. In terms of which defeat is normal. However, Manchester City felt the lack of Kebin DeBruina thoroughly.
I do agree that City had a bit of a trouble beating Sevilla but in the end they did it anyway and that's all that matters. As long as we are talking about a win, this was a win and how close it was doesn't really matter. Sevilla almost won, it was penalties, a few balls go a few inches left or right and suddenly they are the winners, but that did not happen.
Now that City won, they have 4 cups in a single year, and they have a chance to make it 5 as well with club world cup as well. I do not know how it will go, but I think they will probably do it. That's the important thing, if teams win cups, that returns as money and they can then use that money to win and be better as well and should be able to keep the momentum going.
