The £100 million rookie is on the bench, along with the absence of key players such as Sterling, De Bruyne, Stones or Ederson, Man City clearly shows their intention to experiment when putting many young talents on the field.
On the other side of the front line, Leicester put on the field the brightest stars to threaten the reigning Premier League champions. However, the match did not go as expected.
The biggest impression in the first half was just a shot against Man City. Leicester did not play well and their opponents did so, leading to many substitutions in the second half.
While Man City sent both Grealish and Bernado Silva on the pitch, Leicester withdrew all their key players. As the match was about to enter the penalty area (without an extra half), The Citizens' centre-back Ake made a sloppy foul in the penalty area in the 87th minute.
On the penalty spot in the 89th minute, thinganacho shot into the net of his former team and sealed the victory for The Foxes.
With a minimal victory, Leicester had a satisfactory start to the new season. As for Man City, the English Super Cup match does not say anything, the season is right before the eyes.
