For the first time in six years, Manchester City have won the Community Shield by dominating their neighbours United.
Manchester City’s Community Shield curse is over. After six years of waiting, the Eastlands club triumphed in this pre-season match. To do so, they had to dominate their rivals Manchester United, this Saturday at Wembley (1-1 atb 7-6).
The English champions have therefore returned to glory. However, it was not a walk in the park. They were even heading for another defeat, before Bernardo Silva revived them by equalizing in the 89th minute.e minute of play. The Portuguese had taken advantage of a nice offering from the young Oscar Bobb to deceive André Onana.

Manchester City take revenge on United
Before that goal, United had been the better team on the pitch. Ten Hag’s men had materialized their good copy by opening the scoring through Alejandro Garnacho. Although he had only been on the pitch for 20 minutes, the young Argentinian showed his class by piercing the Sky Blues’ defense with a series of hooks before arming an unstoppable left-footed shot.
MU believed this goal was enough to dominate their sworn enemy for the second time in a row, after the success last May in the FA Cup final. In vain. The pride of the champion spoke and Pep Guardiola’s men restored their stranglehold on English football. Enough to attack the new Premier League season with morale at its highest and the wind in their sails.
