After 90 minutes of 1-1 draw, the two teams entered the penalty shootout like the Europa League final, but this time Sevilla failed. While all five Man City players kicked in, Sevilla's fifth shot was midfielder Nemanja Gudelj kicking off the crossbar. Pep Guardiola's army rushed to the field to celebrate their fourth title this year, after the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
Man City received bad news before the match, when midfielder Bernardo Silva was sick and absent, and midfielder Ruben Dias was also unable to play. The second most expensive defender in history Josko Gvardiol first started for Man City, but played completely to the left. Captain Kevin de Bruyne also suffered a long-term injury, leaving Erling Haaland alone in attack and could not finish a single time in the match despite playing the full 90 minutes.
Man City kept the ball more but Sevilla opened the scoring in the 25th minute from a classic attack situation. Left-back Marcos Acuna crosses in for center forward Youssef En-Nesyri to bounce high and head to the left post, leaving goalkeeper Ederson Moraes to stand still and watch the ball fly into the net.
En-Nesyri also missed a favorable face-off in the second half and Sevilla paid the price not long after. From a cross from Rodri on the left, 21-year-old midfielder Cole Palmer rushed down the second column to head the ball to the far corner to equalize 1-1 for Man City. Coach Pep Guardiola calmly received the goal by talking to the assistant sitting next to him.
