The final match of UEFA Super Cup between Manchester City and Sevilla is scheduled to take place at Karaiskakis Stadium on Thursday at 12:30 am IST.
In their second opening match this summer, Manchester City aims to prevent a recurrence of their Community Shield outcome as they face Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup showdown on Wednesday in Piraeus. Pep Guardiola’s team enters the contest after securing their second continental title by winning the Champions League last season. On the other hand, even under Jose Mourinho’s management, Sevilla maintained their enduring control over the Europa League, as seen in the 2022-23 season.
Under Pep Guardiola’s guidance, Manchester City has dominated domestic competitions, but their European success was limited until the 2022-23 season, when Erling Haaland’s addition broke the trend. Haaland’s 12 Champions League goals, along with an unexpected Rodri goal, ended Inter Milan’s defensive strength. Despite losing the Community Shield to Arsenal, City began the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Burnley, courtesy of Haaland’s brace and a Rodri strike. A UEFA Super Cup debut precedes their Champions League clash with Newcastle United. While Sevilla struggled domestically, their European prowess remains evident.
Sevilla faced challenges adapting to Julen Lopetegui and the Jorge Sampaoli experiment. Despite a tough start and dropping to 19th in La Liga, Jose Luis Mendilibar’s appointment steadied the ship. He guided them to a 12th-place finish and a record seventh Europa League win. Against Mourinho’s Roma, Sevilla’s penalty expertise prevailed, overshadowed by controversial post-game treatment of the referee. With six Europa League titles, they won their first UEFA Super Cup against Barcelona in 2006 but later lost five consecutive continental openers. In their 2023-24 La Liga opener, they lost 2-1 to Valencia. Facing Man City, they’ve lost all four matches, including defeats aiding their path to last year’s second-tier success in the Champions League group stage.
Manchester City probable starting lineup: Ortega, Walker, Akanji, Gvardiol, Ake, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, Alvarez, Grealish, Haaland
Sevilla probable starting lineup: Bounou, Navas, Gudelj, Bade, Acuna, Jordan, Fernando, Rakitic, Suso, En-Nesyri, Ocampos
