After winning the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night, Manchester City will now enter their match against Newcastle United on Saturday night with another trophy in their collection.
After a 1-1 draw in regulation, Pep Guardiola’s team defeated Sevilla, the eventual champions of the Europa League, on penalties to win.
Man City did not play well at all; they gave up a lot of opportunities to the La Liga team.
That will inspire Eddie Howe much as he seeks to build on Newcastle’s remarkable Premier League start.
It’s being humorously referred to as the title decider between Newcastle and Man City, and it’s obvious that Jack Grealish is aware of how important the game is.
Jack Grealish is gearing up for an excellent Newcastle game.
Grealish spoke with TNT Sport after his team’s victory in the UEFA Super Cup. The England international is anticipating a more subdued celebration before the match with Newcastle after this time last year’s Champions League victory.
Put a stop to that, he commanded.
We’ll return home tonight, eat a wonderful meal, and relax. In three days, we have another game. The Premier League will be resumed after recovery.
It will be a great test for us because we have a big game against a really good team.
Manchester City will have a free swing against Newcastle.
Grealish will undoubtedly complement Newcastle. As we discovered when he was too drunk and insulted Miguel Almiron last year, it would be impolite not to!
The Manchester City winger, however, is mindful of Newcastle’s potential and anticipates a “big” match at the Etihad.
It will be just that, and Howe will be confident in his team’s ability to shock the system.
With their victory over Aston Villa, Newcastle sent a strong message, and they also did well against Man City twice the previous season. The Magpies can harm Guardiola’s team, who showed last night that they are far from flawless at the moment.
You have to think that Newcastle has a great chance to win because Man City will be less rested than usual after traveling to Athens in the middle of the week.
