Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish admitted some relief after winning the UEFA Super Cup.

Cole Palmer canceled out Sevilla's established by Youssef En-Nesyri before the game was taken to spotkicks. After the first nine penalties were converted Sevilla defender Nemanja Gudelj drilled his kick against the crossbar to give City victory.

Grealish later said: "It was unbelievable. The manager made it so clear to us before the game how much he wants this trophy. You want to win everything anyway but that gave us more of an urge. it was a brilliant feeling.

"Over the last 10 or 15 years this club has been so successful, they've won so many Premier Leagues, FA Cups, Carabao Cups. We've been waiting for this. To add another one to the collection. This is what I came here to do.

"It was so hot and humid. They made it hard for us, fair play, they're a good team.

"Getting the break at half-time, getting some words from the manager was important. We changed a few things. A good night all round."

On Palmer, he added: "That's what you have to do as a young lad. I was in that position at Villa. You have to perform when given the chance and he's done that. He's such a nice kid, I'm so happy for him.

"We'll go home tonight. We have another game in three days. Straight to recovery and then back to the Premier League."
