In the Community Shield match, Garnacho came off the bench to score, while B Silva equalized, and Manchester City drew 1-1 with Manchester United in the regular 90 minutes, going straight into a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, Akanji scored the final winning goal, and Manchester City finally won 7-6, defeating Manchester United 8-7 on aggregate to win the championship. After the game, Manchester City head coach Guardiola gave an interview to the media.
Guardiola told ITV: “I really enjoy playing the Manchester derby against Manchester United. Of course, it’s great to start the new season with a trophy, we are really happy. Manchester United are one of the best teams in the world, they are very dangerous, it’s difficult to stop their attack, but eventually we did it.”
“Now we need to see how the players recover. The goal now is not to win the Premier League, it’s to win the next game first, that’s what we have to do.”
When asked about Akanji’s penalty, he said: “He missed a penalty in the European Championship, I like that he’s still brave enough to take penalties.”
Speaking about Ederson, he said: “He’s the best penalty taker in our team, of course there’s also Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne. These three are our best penalty takers.”
