The Pireaus’ Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium hosts the 2023 UEFA Super Cup final, featuring Manchester City against Sevilla.
This time, the penalty kicks favor the English, triumphing over the Spaniards after a 1-1 draw in regular time (6-5 penalties).
Guardiola lacks De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, while Haaland is supported by Foden, Grealish, Palmer, and new signing Kovacic. Mendilibar relies on Ocampos, Torres, and Lamela behind En-Nesyri, with Bounou and Acuña on the field despite transfer talks.
Early in the 8th minute, Bounou stands out with a remarkable save from Aké’s close-range header.
The match unfolds at the 25th minute when Acuña’s cross meets En-Nesyri’s powerful header, securing Spain’s advantage.
City presses, but Sevilla defends resolutely until the final whistle. Ocampos orchestrates a counterattack, serving a perfect ball to his teammate, who misses a close-range shot.
At the 63rd minute, Rodri finds Palmer with a gentle header, equalizing the score. A minute later, Ederson thwarts En-Nesyri’s attempt. In the 70th minute, En-Nesyri tests Ederson again. Guardiola’s men besiege the opponent’s goal, but luck eludes them in the final minutes.
No extra time, only penalties decide the outcome. After nine successful shots, Gudelj’s last penalty hits the crossbar, granting Manchester City their first UEFA Super Cup.
