Manchester City's performance against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup final seems to be a poor performance compared to last season. Many may say that Sevilla's performance has improved compared to before but I would say Sevilla's performance was not good but Manchester City's poor performance is why Sevilla did so well in the UEFA Super Cup final against Manchester City.
I wasn’t impressed by Manchester City's performance, they performed poorly against Sevilla. Manchester City was just lucky to beat Sevilla in the match, Sevilla had lots of opportunities. I don’t really know why Manchester City didn’t perform well in the match, maybe it’s because of De Bruyne's injury. I think Pep Guardiola has to look for a replacement for De Bruyne because he will be going for surgery and he won’t be coming back soon. Let’s see how Manchester City will perform against Newcastle in their next match. I know it won’t really be easy for Manchester City.
I am not surprise with Man City performance against Sevilla because I believe the squad can't be as formidable as last season squad coupled with the fact that one of their influential Kevin DeBruyne is injured, however I regard Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez two important players that had left the club can make impact on the team in that match, I believe their squad of last season would have won the match during regulation time though I am not trying to underrate Sevilla, I think the outcome of their next match against Newcastle would reveal a lot about how formidable the team would be this season though Guordiola did signed Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic to strengthen the team.
