Pep Guardiola’s team, now without Julián Álvarez, beat the Blues 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester City won 2-0 on their visit to Chelsea, who had Enzo Fernández as a starter and wearing the captain’s armband, in the first matchday of the Premier League. Erling Haaland scored the first at Stamford Bridge, while Mateo Kovacic sealed the victory for Pep Guardiola’s team with a true wonder goal to fulfill the law of the former. In this way, the Cityzens took the first step in the quest to obtain their fifth consecutive league.
Eighteen minutes into the match, City showed their potential and opened the scoring. Bernardo Silva managed to connect with the Norwegian inside the area and, despite Marc Cucurella’s attempt to destabilise him, Haaland did not flinch and chipped the ball into the side of Robert Sánchez’s body.
In the second half, in the 38th minute, Mateo Kovacic scored a tremendous goal that started with a control in the middle of the pitch. The Croatian got past Moisés Caicedo and then Enzo was unable to stop him. From outside the area, the former Chelsea player managed to put the ball in the corner but did not celebrate the goal out of respect for his former team.
A poor start for the team managed by Enzo Maresca in the manager’s debut in the Premier League. It should be noted that the Blues have no international competitions this season and that is why they must focus on the local arena. For its part, City will try to win the English league for the seventh time in eight seasons.
