The 2019 Community Shield between Liverpool and Man City at Wembley on 4 August gave fans a top performance.
Sterling opened the scoring in the 12th minute for Man City before The Kop scored Joel Matip in the 77th minute. With a 2-0 winless streak, the Citizens had to rely on a 5-4 win in a penalty shootout to end their last joy.
Speaking after the match, Man City head coach Pep Guardiola commented: "An unbelievable Super Cup match for both teams, neither side dominated for 90 minutes. We had some really good games. In the last 15 minutes, the team was exhausted and the opponent had a chance to win.
This is a good test for both sides. It's good that the players will understand what they have to face this season. At this level, the difference does not exist. 1 penalty, 1 point is different.
The first title of the season is within our reach. In the second half, the opponent played longer and we did not win in the second half. We couldn't control it."
Claudio Bravo was Man City's hero in this victory. He repeatedly blocked the shots of the red shirt strikers in the first two quarters and pushed Wijnaldum's kick in the penalty shootout.
Speaking about this goalkeeper, Pep Guardiola praised: "I am really impressed not only now but also in the pre-season. After what happened, he is no longer a young player.
With his contributions, Bravo was calm and won today's match. Everyone has made unbelievable contributions but he won this match. Bravo is an unusual number 2 goalkeeper. He made many saves and of course a penalty kick.
Looking forward to the upcoming new Premier League season, Coach Pep Guardiola is cautious: " Man United will return and there will be Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea. I don't know what will happen."
Along with that, he also congratulated Man United on completing the transfer of Harry Maguire from Leicester for a reported price of £80 million. Thereby, Maguire became the most expensive central defender in the history of world football. Pep Guardiola said Man City are also interested in this deal but are not strong enough to pursue.
Man City will start the 2019-2020 Premier League season with a trip to West Ham's London Stadium at 6:30 p.m. on August 10, Vietnam time.
