The new season of the Premier League gradually kicked off with a Community Shield match. In this match, Manchester City avenged Manchester United in a penalty shootout and won the first championship of the 24-25 season, but for the Blue Moon Army, this may make them lose more than they gain.

In this game, Manchester City did not show the dominance they had shown in the past. In the first half, young players Bob and Doku played actively on the wing, but failed to seize the opportunity of multiple shots. In the second half, Manchester City's advantage disappeared. Fortunately, substitute B Silva stood up at the last moment and dragged the game into overtime. But throughout the game, Manchester City's possession rate was only 56%, and they made 9 shots in the whole game, with only 1 shot on target. These data are not what Manchester City should show.

In fact, the Community Shield is a very tasteless title, especially for Manchester City, which does not have much desire to compete. Manchester City has never won the Community Shield when it won the Premier League. It was defeated by Leicester City 3-1 before, and drew 1-1 with Arsenal last season, and then was eliminated in a penalty shootout. However, back in the 19-20 season, Manchester City defeated Liverpool in a penalty shootout to win the championship. It was this victory that led to Manchester City's failure to win the Premier League championship.
