Prior to this year’s addition of Community Shield, the last three games finished after a penalty shootout. Today’s match between Arsenal and Manchester City didn’t get even close to that. Mikel Arteta’s men simply destroyed the Citizens 3-0 and made the best possible prelude to the Premier League season, which starts next Friday. Post-Guardiola era started terrible for his successor Enzo Maresca. The former City assistant got some nice gigs just due to the fact that he was Pep’s right hand, and UAE owners rushed to get him as soon as the Spaniard announced he was leaving. But today’s demolition by Arsenal will be deeply worrying for the owners. Yes, it’s only Community Shield, yes, Manchester City had almost 20 World Cup participants who came late and still haven’t reached their full fitness, but this was embarrassing by all merits.And what about Arsenal? They looked like they played a Premier League title-decider and not the Community Shield. While Maresca started some World Cup playe..

When the legendary New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was asked after winning his fifth Vince Lombardi Trophy — he eventually finished his career with seven championships — which Super Bowl title was his favorite, he jokingly replied: “The next one.” Luis Enrique seems to be following the same philosophy. He won every possible trophy with Barcelona, failed to make much of an impact as Spain manager, but has left his biggest mark in Paris. He has turned Paris Saint-Germain into a machine that churns out trophies and, when they play with the kind of flair they showed in the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, seem almost impossible to beat. Over the past two years, there have been very few competitions PSG have entered without winning. Last season, the exception was the Coupe de France, which went north to Lens, a mining city in one of France’s poorer regions.BETTING GUIDE: Lens vs PSG, match preview, team news and predictionPowerful PSG have already won their firs..
