    Sevilla looked the better side for the first five or 10 minutes but since then City have been able to settle and get on the ball.

    Pep Guardiola is giving almost namesake Josko Gvardiol detailed instructions.

    They're going to use this chance for an official drinks break. Mateo Kovacic is fine by the way.

    Sevilla are quite fluid in their system.

    Oliver Torres does a lot of work on the right but he also moves centrally and Lucas Ocampos is doing a similar thing.

    They aren't static in their positions and they are really interesting to watch in possession.

    Nice feet from Jack Grealish, who gets the ball in space on the left wing, drifts in and slams in a shot from 16 yards out - palmed away by Bono.

    Jesus Navas is alert to cut out Mateo Kovacic's through ball to Erling Haaland.

    A lot of the players look drenched in sweat already. It's hot in Greece.

    Gvardiol looks a Manchester City player already.

    He's very comfortable on the ball.

    The start is as you'd expect really. City having more possession and putting together plenty of tidy passing moves.

    Sevilla's Oliver Torres is flagged offside and kicks the ball away. If that was in the Premier League it would be a definite yellow but he escapes.

    Good work from Cole Palmer and great from Kyle Walker to offer the overlap.

    It's an early sighter for Palmer.

    City youngster Cole Palmer has a go from the edge of the box but it's straight at Bono.

    Now Erling Haaland's first touch denies him a shooting chance in the box.

    Another City chance - Nathan Ake powers a header at goal from a cross but it's stopped by Bono.

    Jesus Navas swings in a cross for Sevilla and Lucas Ocampos completely misses an overhead kick before Youssef En-Nesyri's header drops into the gloves of Ederson.

    When Sevilla go forward they have players like En Nesyri, the Moroccan forward, and Ocampos, who can both cause plenty of problems.

    The Manchester City fans have just been roarinfg the name of Kevin de Bruyne, who manager Pep Guardiola revealed last night could be out for "three or four months" if he has to undergo surgery on a serious hamstring injury.

    City take an age over a defensive free-kick and Ederson pumps it long to nobody in particular.

  19. 'Versatile Gvardiol'published at 20:04 British Summer Time 16 August 2023

    Gvardiol is playing at left-back and Ake is at centre-back.

    I spoke earlier about his versatility and he's on the left side of a flat back four.

    Manuel Akanji is careless in midfield and loses the ball but Erik Lamela can't take advantage, dragging a shot wide from 20 yards.
