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.
Winning is important, but the process leading to victory is far more important. Manchester City had to fight their way into extra time and go to penalties to beat Sevilla to win their fourth title in one season. Manchester City's appearance was a little off balance even though they were able to control the game, losing De Bruyne greatly affected Manchester City's attack, he has always been Guardiola's mainstay because of his skills able to increase Manchester City's goals.
He has always been a differentiator in the Manchester City squad, the beautiful cross that has come from his feet has often ended up being a goal, Haaland is the player who has had the most assists from De Bruyne in scoring. Manchester City is on their best journey, at the moment they are still difficult to contain. The four trophies that have been obtained have further motivated the players to continue their success stories.
