The controversy in Manchester began before the match, with the eleven players that Josep Guardiola chose for today's important match. The Catalan coach, now that he has recovered all his players who were injured, had to make a choice, Julian Alvarez or Kevin De Bruyne.

Pep Guardiola, despite the fact that he always praises the Belgian midfielder, chose Julian Alvarez's Juventus team over him. The former River Plate Argentine played 77 minutes of the game, and failed to score or assist. Kevin de Bruyne came on in the 57th minute.

Kevin de Bruyne showed his talent in the short time he played, because towards the end of the match he gave a wonderful assist for Erling Haaland's second goal, when Everton was playing better, trying to tie.

Pep Guardiola praises De Bruyne and Haaland:

“When a player scores 60 goals, he helps win games. When you have someone with countless assists and goals, he also helps you win games. "You don't need an elite education to understand that."
