Pep Guardiola reveals he chose Man City's penalty-takers ahead of their winning Super Cup shootout on Wednesday - learning from his mistake after letting the players decide and losing to Arsenal in the Community Shield

Pep Guardiola has said that he took charge of selecting Manchester City's penalty takers in their Uefa Super Cup victory against Sevilla.

City scored all five of their spot-kicks to take home the trophy after the game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes in Athens, with Sevilla's Nemanja Gudelj hitting the bar from 12 yards to hand Guardiola's side the win.

The City boss took credit for the shootout success, saying he chose all five takers unlike against Arsenal when he allowed the players to decide and the treble winners tasted defeat.
