After reproaching Haaland, Guardiola's unexpected gesture with the Norwegian in the European Super Cup

Manchester City finished as UEFA Super Cup champions. Pep Guardiola's team managed to place themselves in the expected way in this match, where despite the casualties, they were the great favorites against Sevilla FC. However, the Spanish club played in a great way and forced the club to go to penalties, where the citizens came out as champions.

Despite the fact that players like Kevin De Bruyne or Bernardo Silva were not available for this match, the Norwegian striker and great star of the club, Erling Haaland, did start this match, but he could not make a difference. Cole Palmer was in charge of scoring the equalizing goal and later Haaland supported in the penalty shootout, which was won by the Manchester club.

In the celebration, Pep Guardiola went looking for Haaland, in full euphoria and had an unexpected action with the player. After Pep reprimanded him in the last Premier League match, the coach did not hesitate to hug Haaland tightly, and then give him a joking kiss on the Norwegian's cheek.

What did Guardiola say after the game?

“Thank-you so much to the Premier League for letting us play on Saturday, and not Sunday or Monday. Thank you so much.” Regarding his rival, Guardiola praised them at a press conference. "It is a very good team, in the first half it has generated a lot for us, we have arrived late at the centers of Acuña and Navas, they arrive with a lot of people, they have scored against us".
