Sevilla captain Ivan Rakitic said three word after man city’s defeat
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Sevilla narrowly missed securing their second European Super Cup victory on Wednesday. Despite holding Manchester City to a 1-1 draw after regular time, Nemanja Gudelj’s unsuccessful penalty attempt led to the Champions League titleholders claiming the trophy.
Jose Luis Mendilibar’s team exhibited a spirited performance, led by their captain, Ivan Rakitic. They put forth a robust effort and could argue that they should have emerged victorious within the standard playing time.
In his remarks following the match (reported by MD), Rakitic expressed his deep disappointment about the loss. He stated, “It’s truly unfortunate. Our desire for this trophy was stronger than theirs, but we must extend our congratulations to Manchester City. We need to assure our supporters that we’ll persist in our pursuit of another opportunity like this.”
Rakitic further acknowledged, “Manchester City’s consistent success isn’t coincidental, considering their achievements and future prospects. For them, this level of triumph is customary. If we had emerged victorious, our elation would have been off the charts.”
Sevilla must now regroup and shift their focus back to league affairs. They are scheduled to face Alaves on Monday evening at 7pm CEST.
