Pep Guardiola's side dominated the ball from the first whistle but it was Sevilla who took the lead thanks to a brilliantly worked goal, expertly finished off by Youssef En- Nesyri.

UEFA Super Cup goes to penalty shoot out
Full time in Greece and it's 1-1 at the end of the 90 minutes.

Chance! City
That could have been the opening! A deep cross finds Nathan Ake at the back post but his diving effort is tipped over by Bono.
He might feel that he should have done better there.
Chance! City
The ball is worked to Kovacic in space, just inside the Sevilla box. He swings his left foot at the ball but makes a poor connection. His strike bobbles goalwards but is easily repelled.

Who has the better penalty shoot out record? Well Sevilla are seasoned pros in Europe and actually won last season's Europa League with a penalty shoot out win over Roma in the final.
City, meanwhile, have lost their last two penalty shoot outs. Most recently, they lost to Arsenal in the Community Shield.
Five minutes of the allotted 90 remaining, all square. You'd imagine that Sevilla would be happy with penalties, while City will want to finish this in normal time.
City finally make their first change of the evening.
Julian Alvarez comes on for Cole Palmer, who has been City's best player in the second half.
Gonzalo Montiel is coming on for Sevilla stalwart Jesus Navas.
City will wait for their sub.
A quality delivery from Jesus Navas looks destined for the head of Ocampos, who can't quite connect with the ball.

It's real backs-to-the-wall stuff for Sevilla now with everyone back in their defensive third.

Juanlu comes on for Sevilla, replacing Oliver Torres.
First change of the game.
Brilliant skill from Palmer to skip clear of Acuna on the City right. He is eventually crowded out by Sevilla defenders, but Palmer looks the most likely City player to win the game here.
A long goal kick from Bono gets us back underway in the UEFA Super Cup.
Worth noting that if this game is still level at the end of the 90 minutes, we'll be going straight to penalties.
With 20 minutes to go, that'll be another drinks break.
Close! Cole Palmer
Fine work from the youngster allows him to win the ball back on the edge of the box and he faints past a desperate lunge from Acuna. He looks to curl the ball into the far corner but Bono is equal to his effort.
City seem to have gained fresh impetus since the goal and are once again pinning Sevilla back in their own box.
The Sky Blue section of the Karaiskakis Stadium is in good voice now.
Chance! Man City
Phil Foden nearly skips through the Sevilla defence but is stopped at the last moment. The loose ball lands at the feet of Rodri, who swipes at the ball but it is deflected out for a corner.
For all of City's possession, their equalising goal came courtesy of a cross into the box and a good header. Is that the way around this resolute Sevilla defence? It's the only thing that's worked so far.
Sevilla prepare their first sub.
Close! Sevilla
Another chance for En-Nesyri! He is able to run off the back of Ake and is in for a one-on-one.

GOOOOOAAAAL! Cole Palmer
And just like that, City are level!
It's a deep cross into the box from Rodri that picks out Palmer at the back post and he guides a brilliant header back across the goal and into the Sevilla net.
All square.
Erling Haaland has barely been invoved in the opening hour and City look to be missing De Bruyne.
Sevilla have looked the better side since the break, attacking with more purpose and poses a greater threat. City are struggling to make any impression going forward.
Guardiola is readying his first substitutes.
A sharp pass from Haaland sends Grealish sprinting forward into space on the left. City work the ball around the edge of the box but Sevilla intercept and are back on the attack.
The ball is played forward towards En-Nesyri, lurking in the box, but Walker gets back in time to clear the danger.
It's a little more end-to-end than we had expected, with both teams fashioning half chances in quick succession.
The ball is worked wide to Ocampos for Sevilla who looks to curl the ball to the back post. It's a good delivery, but there's no one there to meet it.
Close! Sevilla

More direct running from Ocampos draws a foul from Rodri. Sevilla have a free kick from the left of the box and an opportunity to deliver.
City will continue to push forward but it does look like Sevilla will find spaces on the counter.

He should score, but is scuffed effort is stopped by the City stopper.
The game has settled down into a familiar rhythm now, with Sevilla camped on the edge of their own box. City were buidling some momentum at the end of the first half, can they regain that impetus now?

The ball is whipped in by Rakitic and it bounces around the City box, sparking shouts of 'handball' from the Sevilla players.
Nothing doing, says the referee. City clear.
And immediately, there's a stoppage.

And we're away
Sevilla get us underway for the second half...
En-Nesyri header the difference for Sevilla
One spell of realquality from Sevilla, culminating in a brilliant Youssef En-Nesyri header, has given the Europa League kings the lead in Greece.
We're nearly ready for the restart...
So, what have we learnt from that opening 45 minutes?
For a start, it is very hot in the Karaiskakis Stadium tonight. It's slowed the pace of the game and has made it difficult for City to maintain their normal high tempo.
Defensively, Sevilla look very resolute in the central areas and they look happy to defend on the edge of the box. Navas is giving Grealish space on the left, and backing his defenders to deal with the cross when it comes.
Kovacic has impressed for City with his energy between the lines. But with Sevilla dropping further back his space to burst forward is limited.
Sevilla looking good at half time
They had very little of the ball in the Manchester City box, but Sevilla can claim to have had the best piece of play in the opening 45 and take a one-goal lead into the break. It was an incisive move down the left wing that led to their goal, a pin-point header from Youssef En-Nesyri.
Peep peeeep peeeeep
And that's it for the first half. Sevilla have a shock lead at the break, what can City muster in the second half?
Sevilla look to see out the remaining few seconds by booting it up field. That should do it for the Europa League winners.
Close! Manchester CIty
That could have been the chance!

A half chance for City as Rodri twists and turns on the edge of the box but isn't quite able to find an angle for the shot. Resolute defending once again.
Three minutes
The fourth official announces a minimum of three minutes' added time.
Kovacic advances and looks to play a neat one-two with Haaland on the edge of the Sevilla box. There's too many bodies in there and the move breaks down.
Foden delivers from wide and the ball falls to Akanji in the box. The Dutchman lets fly from close range but Sevilla manage to block his volleyed effort and volley the ball away from danger.
Not long until the break now.
City are piling on the pressure now as the half time break approaches but there is no space for Guardiola's team in the central areas.
They work it wide and Jack Grealish is hacked down by Ocampos near the touchline. Free kick for City on the left flank.
Opting against a shot, Grealish takes the free kick and looks to loft the ball towards Ake at the far post.
Bono is off his line sharply to punch clear.
Brilliant first touch from Foden keeps the ball alive in the Sevilla penalty box. He passes to Rodri and the Spaniard is felled on the edge of the box.
Free kick in a dangerous place for City, right of centre on the edge.
Nearly an opening for Grealish there!

Manchester City whip in a corner towards the head of Rodri. He wins the header but his deflected effort goes over the crossbar for another corner.
Foden takes the subsequent corner and Sevilla clear easily.
With ten minutes to go in the first half, Manchester City have managed to produce relatively little from their 67% share of the possession. Sevilla will be very happy with their performance, and delighted to find themselves ahead.
The Englishman's effort is blocked by Nemanja Gudelj, who is knocked to his feet.
We'll have a break in play now as the dazed midfielder is checked out by the medical staff.
Good distance for a strike here, if a little central. It looks like Foden will strike it.
Loic Balde (Sevilla)
Erling Haaland ghosts in behind the Sevilla backline and he is hauled down by Balde. Free kick to City, booking for Balde.
Chance! Sevilla
Brilliant run down the right from the ageless Jesus Navas, who pulls the ball back to the onrushing Eric Lamela. He takes the strike on first time but it flies wide of the goal.
There is space on the flanks for Sevilla if they are able to exploit it.
Sevilla advance once again with Jesus Navas. He crosses the ball for En-Nesyri but the goal scorer can't connect this time around.
Boos from the Sevilla fans as City pass the ball around on the edge of the box.
It ends up with Gvardiol on the left, who swings the ball in towards Haaland. The Croatian's cross is overhit and Sevilla win a throw in on the far side.
Well, who saw that coming?
Sevilla had offered very little from an offensive perspective but they are in the lead thanks to a brilliantly worked goal. Confident front-foot play, an inch-perfect cross, and a clinical header.
top stuff all round from the Europa League winners.
GOOOAAAAAL! Youssef En-Nesyri
Out of nowhere, Sevilla take the lead!
They catch City up field and work the ball down the left. Acuna whips in the ball from the wing and Youssef En-Nesyri connects to fire past Ederson with a brilliant header.
Pep Guardiola is spending the water break piling Josko Gvardiol with instructions. The City boss is demanding at the best of times, and he's got plenty of advice for his new £77 million defender.
Kovacic looks to close down the Sevilla defence and gets whacked in the face as Balde clears the ball up field.
The former Chelsea man falls to the floor and the referee halts play to check on him. This will be an opportunity for the first of two water breaks.

Twenty minutes in, Sevilla have kept the European champions at arms' length so far.
Erling Haaland gives away a foul for a clumsy challenge on Ivan Rakitic in the middle of the Sevilla start. The Norwegian has had little in the way of service so far.
The ball is worked to Jack Grealish on the left and he cuts inside onto his left foot to shoot at goal. His driven effort is tipped wide and City win the corner.
Rodri is the target but Sevilla get it clear.
Sevilla are determined to play a fairly high line where possible to avoid allowing City to push up the pitch. It's working so far but there have been openings for Erling Haaland in behind.
Let's see how that develops...
A loose pass from Rodri on the edge of the Sevilla box allows the Spanish side to regain possession.
Sevilla fans are in great voice in the Karaiskakis Stadium are making themselves heard despite being outnumbered by the City support.
Confirmation that there will be drinks breaks midway through both halves of football, owing to the extremely warm conditions in Greece. Let's see if the heat affects the pace of the game.
Sevilla goalkeeper Bono awkwardly punches a cross from the right, only as far of Gvardiol in the left back position. The new City signing lets fly from 35 yards but his effort goes harmlessly over the crossbar.
Ten minutes in and that header for Ake is the only real chance so far. City have had the most of the possession but Sevilla have kept them at bay, largely.
Sevilla look confident playing out from the back and are not being overawed by their more illustrious opponents. With the experience of Navas and Rakitic to call upon, Sevilla will look to put their foot on the ball and slow the game down in possession.
Close! Man City
A City corner is played short and Palmer curls in a delicate cross. Nathan Ake meets the ball at the back post but his header is pushed wide by Bono.
Good opportunity, that. Could have done better.

Nearly calamity for City as a loose touch from Akanji is nearly pounced upon by En-Nesyri.
Manchester City start on the front foot and will look to dominate the ball throughout tonight's game. It looks like City are sticking with their inverted full back ploy, Manuel Akanji moving into the midfield to partner Rodri.
And we're away!
Man City get us started in the 2023 Super Cup.
And now we're ready to go, City to get things going here...
The players are out and there's a moment's silence to mark the passing of a Greek football supporter who lost his life in clashes around a stadium last week. Thoughts with everyone are with their family.
ICYMI: Man City vs Sevilla line-ups
Here's how the two teams line up tonight...
Man City starting XI: Ederson, Walker (C), Akanji, Gvardiol, Ake, Rodrigo, Kovacic, Foden, Palmer, Grealish, Haaland
Sevilla starting XI: Bono, Acuna, Gudelj, Balde, Navas, Rakitic, Jordan, Lamela, Oliver, Ocampos, En-Nesyri
A word on the weather
One key factor tonight could be the scorching temperatures in the Karaiskakis Stadium this evening. It's been as high as 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) earlier today and has not dropped by much this evening.
We're nearly ready for the off in the Super Cup as both teams wait in the tunnel. The atmosphere has really picked up in the last few minutes as kick-off draws closer and tensions rise.
Manchester City are the clear favourites, but Sevilla will hope to pull up an offset.
Kick off in five minutes...
Bono starts for Sevilla despite transfer talk
Sevilla's 32-year-old goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, better known as Bono, was one of the stars as they lifted the Europa League trophy last season. He starts in goal tonight amid talk of an imminent transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
Will this be his final appearance for the club, and can he make it a victorious one?
Guardiola speaks to reporters ahead of kick-off
"Sevilla have a special character for the finals and their players are huge competitors. It is a final and they will be there."
"[Cole Palmer] is a huge talent, a young talent. When an academy player is in the first team it is because they are good enough to play with."
It looks like the pre-game warmups in Greece are coming to a close as kick off in the UEFA Super Cup approaches. Manchester City come into the game as firm favourites but will need to be careful not to underestimate a talented Sevilla side that know how to win in Europe.
We're now less than 20 minutes away from kick-off and we'll have full live coverage of all the action right here.
Pep Guardiola questions his Jesus Navas decision
“Maybe now I’d have extended Jesus’ contract.
"It was an old team in that period, lots of players past 30. In that year a lot of changes. Incredible to see him at 37, 38, how committed he is to Sevilla.”
It's no surprise to see Erling Haaland lead the line for Manchester City tonight. But the Norwegian marksman will hope to avoid another half time 'critique' from manager Pep Guardiola, as he received during the game against Burnley last weekend.
If you missed it, watch Guardiola scolding his star striker in front of the Burnley faithful.
Sevilla fans in good voice in Greece
Going up against the might of Manchester City, many will have Sevilla down as distinct underdogs for tonight's Super Cup clash. But the Sevilla fans in attendance, those who have seen them pull off a number of European shocks over the years, sound confident ahead of kick-off.
If City score early that will tilt the tie firmly in their favour. But if Sevilla can keep them at bay for the first half, they will fancy their chances.
Ake hails new signing Gvardiol
"He is a really good defender, especially for his age... He has a lot of time in front of him. With so many good players here and the management staff we have, he can learn a lot. We are all really happy as he can be a big help for us."
"It helps me that I have to prove every day what I can do and to get me to the best level I can. It pushes me."
Phil Foden named in the Manchester City team
The 23-year-old forward started just three of City's 13 Champions League fixtures last season en route to the club's first ever European triumph. The mercurial Mancunian is tipped to become one of the finest attackers in world football but has struggled to nail down a place in Guardiola's incredible team.
This year, after the departures of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez, can Foden secure his pot in the starting XI?
Manchester City enjoyed a famous season in 2022/23 but Seville, too, had a year to remember. City's treble winners made history and Sevilla wrote their names in the record books with a seventh Europa League triumph. The European specialists go into the Super Cup as clear underdogs but you can never rule them out in a one-off tie.
City in the house
Pep Guardiola's treble winners are in attendance for tonight's Super Cup fixture and the Spanish manager has named a strong team for the occasion. Josko Gvardiola enters the starting XI to make his first start for the club, while Cole Palmer is favoured to Bernardo Silva on the right flank.
Players from both teams have arrived at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Greece for tonight's UEFA Super Cup. Supporters and filing in and we're waiting for the teams to head out onto the pitch for the warmups.
This is the first chance to win European silverware this season and could present a real opportunity for Manchester City and Seville to start their season on the front foot.
And here's the Sevilla line up
No major surprises for Sevilla tonight, but a familiar face for Manchester City supporters. Former player Jesus Navas will feature from the start, likely up against Jack Grealish on the right of the Sevilla defence.
Manchester City starting XI announced
Here's the lineup selected by Pep Guardiola for tonight's game, and there are a couple of surprises. Young forward Cole Palmer, scoring of a stunning goal in the Community Shield, starts on the right wing and Josko Gvardiol makes his first start since signing from RB Leipzig.
Karaiskakis Stadium begins to fill up
There's little over an hour to go until kick off in the UEFA Super Cup and the Karaiskakis Stadium is starting to fill up. For Manchester City supporters this in unknown territory but a nice reward after last season's treble-winning heroics. For seven-time Europa League winners Sevilla this is business as usual, but can they cause an upset tonight?
Preparations underway for the Europa League champions
Sevilla battled there way to a record seventh UEFA Cup/Europa League triumph last year despite their struggles in LaLiga. Regardless of who's in the squad for Sevilla they always manage to get the job done in Europe and could pose City a real test tonight.
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the Sevillians' changing room...

Here's everything you need to know...
The UEFA Super Cup brings together the winners of the Champions League and Europa League for a one-off fixture to kick-start the European football calendar. But aside from the glory at stake, there is also a hefty financial reward for the victor.
We take a look at how much it's worth...
What time is the UEFA Super Cup?
Football fans from around the world will be tuning in to watch Manchester City vs Sevilla in the Super Cup later tonight. With thanks to City's social media team, here's when kick-off time is where you are...
Manchester City have no shortage of quality in their team but they will be without the irreplaceable talents of Kevin de Bruyne for tonight's game, and potentially for much of the season. The Belgian picked up a serious injury in City's season opener last week, thought to be a reoccurrence of the complaint that forced him off in the Champions League final.
The stage is set in Greece
In less than two hours the Karaiskakis Stadium in Greece will play host to the 2023 UEFA Super Cup.
Manchester City lifted their first ever Champions League trophy last season to complete a famous treble. Meanwhile Sevilla beat Juventus and Manchester United on their way to lifting the Europa League yet again.
