Manchester City beat Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup on penalties but were far from their best during the 1-1 draw.
Pep Guardiola says Manchester City have to re-enter the transfer market to sign a new midfielder in the wake of Kevin De Bruyne's injury, and his stance won't have changed after the Super Cup victory against Sevilla.
Noticing the issues in midfield in the first half, Guardiola made changes after the break, with Grealish highlighting how Foden swapped with Mateo Kovacic to play the left-central midfield role. It helped a bit, but neither player managed to get Haaland involved as hoped.There are two obvious solutions to that problem, and one came off the bench when penalties loomed. Julian Alvarez has often been the go-to replacement for De Bruyne and naturally plays closer to Haaland at the top of midfield.
Palmer insisted he is still nowhere near his best, while Grealish and Kyle Walker urged him to keep his feet on the ground. Guardiola also had praise for the winger, but also admitted he could still leave this summer amid interest from around the Premier League. It wouldn't be on loan, either, according to the manager.
