UEFA Super Cup - Seville (N) | Wed 16th Aug - 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread (pg112)

Sevilla have got a pretty decent attack. En-Nesyri, Lamela, Ocampos, and Rakitic to name a few.

It should be a good game.

Finally got here and made it to my seat with the crutches no problem.

First time I'll have ever seen them play live in 10+ years of supporting, and realistically it might be the only time ever as it was just sheer coincidence they were playing in Athens when I happened to be here...normally I'm not even in Europe at all so pretty much never any chance even to see the odd champions league game. Absolutely pumped for this.

Glad you’ve got such a great view. Enjoy the game. :-)

I’m excited to see Palmer and Kovacic, but missing Bernardo, Kev and Gundo from last seasons treble winning team just indicates the risk we may be taking if we go into the season without anymore signings. I think we got lucky with injuries last season, we didn’t really have an injury crises at any point, but it just shows you how fragile our squad is when a few are injured.

Hopefully Txiki has his favourite jumper on in the next couple of weeks.

Not even a debate if its a proper trophy, it is. I said years ago that I couldn't wait for City to lift the European Super Cup because it would have meant that we had lifted the Cgampions League.

Lack or creativity in that side

I thought Ortega might have started tonight, and possibly Lewis and Phillips. But let's not be churlish. That's a bloody good side, given our injuries.

As strong as we have. Palmer in front of Alvarez is interesting. Looks like Pep is already seeking the best combination to create for Haaland.

We also had a few playing through injury to get us over the line at the end of the campaign, so in a way this was somewhat predictable.
