Manchester City Team News
In the first round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Burnley away with a score of 3-0. By the 36th minute, they had a doubled lead, with Erling Haaland scoring both times, assisted by Rodri and Julian Alvarez. Midway through the second half, Rodri scored another goal for the visiting team, sealing the final result.
Before this match, the Citizens also played against Arsenal in the Community Shield and were defeated in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regular time. During the preparation period, they played three friendly matches, winning two and losing one. In the previous season, they clinched three titles (Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup).
Unlucky Kevin De Bruyne can’t seem to catch a break this summer. After exiting with a severe Achilles tendon injury in the Champions League final, the Belgian playmaker only managed to last 23 minutes against Burnley before his recurring issue resurfaced. Manager Pep Guardiola admitted that his chief creator would be sidelined for “some time” while the medical team pinpoints the true cause of his injury. Joining De Bruyne in the infirmary are Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva, but John Stones is returning after a hip problem.
De Bruyne’s absence should pave the way for Mateo Kovačić to be in the starting XI, and his Croatian teammate Josko Gvardiol might also make his full debut as Guardiola inevitably adjusts his lineup.

Sevilla Team News
Sevilla’s footballers were defeated at home by Valencia with a score of 1-2 in the first round of LaLiga. There were no changes in the score during the first half, and the visiting team took the lead in the 60th minute. Nine minutes later, Suso successfully assisted Youssef En-Nesyri, who scored a goal. In the 81st minute, Loic Bade received a red card for the home team, which the guests capitalized on to secure the winning goal near the end of regular time.
During the preparation period, they played eight friendly matches, achieving five wins, two losses, and one draw. In the previous season, they finished twelfth in the strongest Spanish competition and won the UEFA Europa League title.
While Sevilla did not lose any more players to injury on Friday evening, the team led by coach Jose Luis Mendilibar saw out the final 10 minutes against Valencia with 10 men following Loic Bade’s sending-off. However, the French defender will be ready for the match in Piraeus. The same cannot be said for two of Bade’s fellow center-backs. Tanguy Nianzou is expected to miss out due to a hamstring injury sustained earlier this month, while Marcao is still not back to full training as he recovers from a quadriceps injury.
First-choice goalkeeper Yassine Bounou has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent days as a replacement for Thibaut Courtois, who has a cruciate ligament injury. However, since Los Blancos are set to loan Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea instead, the Moroccan will stay with Los Palanganas and will be the last line of defense on Wednesday.
🔴 ¡Vamos a por otra final, sevillistas! 🛫 🏆
