Cole Palmer cancelled out Youssef En-Nesyri’s opener to take the showpiece to a shoot-out.
The Spaniard became the first manager to win the Super Cup with three different teams and equalled Carlo Ancelotti’s record of four competition victories as coach.
Sevilla survived a late City onslaught but could not avoid a sixth straight Super Cup defeat as the match passed midnight and went to penalties at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. Gvardiol lashed over following a Bounou punch and went on to receive detailed instructions from Guardiola during a cooling break midway through the opening period.
Penalty appeals against Gvardiol were ignored when play resumed and Sevilla wasted a glorious chance to make it 2-0 in the 50th minute. City lacked defensive solidity and attacking coherency, but Palmer provided a 63rd minute shot in the arm.
