Pep Guardiola surprised in the lineup presented at UEFA Super Cup

Manchester City and Sevilla meet in Athens for the first European title of the season. The team from Seville seeks to win the second European Super Cup in its history and Manchester City wants to debut in its record with this prestigious title that faces the winner of the Champions League against the winner of the Europa League. Mendilibar will bet on Joan Jordan and Guardiola will come out with Gvardiol and Palmer as starters.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, would present several changes from the squad that started the Premier League with a 0-3 victory against Burnley, with Kevin De Bruyne out due to his hamstring long-term injury which will avoid him to play for at least four months, and Bernardo Silva absent due to a slight last minute injury.

In this sense, Pep Guardiola will give time from the start to the new signing Josko Gvardiol, who will be alongside Akankji in the defense. In the middle Kovacic will replace Kevin De Bruyne, reinforced by Phil Foden, and in the forward line, Grealish will return to the lineup and Palmer will replace Julian Alvarez, who will start the game from the bench.

Meanwhile, the substitutes on the bench will be:Ortega, Carson, Dias, Phillips, Stones, Laporte, Julian Alvarez, Bobb, Gomez, Perrone, Lewis, McAtee.
