Pep Guardiola delivered sarcastic thanks to the Premier League over a schedule that sees them soon play against Newcastle
An underwhelming performance from the Blues in Athens saw them fall behind in the first half to Sevilla, but Cole Palmer levelled the game in the second half and City emerged on top in the penalty shootout after the final effort from the Spanish side crashed off the crossbar.
Having finished in Athens in the early hours of Thursday morning, City will take on Newcastle on Saturday evening in a kick-off time that is inconvenient for the team and supporters. There are other fixtures on Sunday and Monday and Guardiola's side do not have a midweek game, but TNT Sports - the same broadcaster who hosted the Super Cup - picking the game means that it had to be on Saturday."I’m really pleased to have this one," said Guardiola.
"Tomorrow we will be even happier than today when we recover, but not one drop of alcohol. We need to recover as much as possible because from Greece, thanks you so much to the Premier League for letting us play Saturday and not Sunday or Monday. Thank you so much."
