“[It’s a] big game, champions of England, champions of Europe, it’s never an easy place to go.
“It’s going to be one where first 10, 15 minutes we’ve got to make sure we don’t concede and then you get a foothold in the game and hopefully we come out there with a positive result.”
While Wilson is vol gees, City boss Pep Guardiola is not happy with his span despite winning his fourth trophy of 2023 on Wednesday night in a 5-4 penalty shootout win over Sevilla to lift the Uefa Super Cup after playing to a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes in Athens.
We’re off the mark! 🙌![CDATA[]]>🏽

He says: “Thank you so much to the Premier League to let us play on Saturday, not on Sunday or Monday. Thank you so much.”
