Pep Guardiola was unable to hide his frustration at Manchester City's already congested fixture schedule following their penalty shootout win against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
Last season's Champions League winners recovered from an early concession to Youssef En-Nesryi and equalised through youngster Cole Palmer, before prevailing on spot kicks.
Having seen his team come through a tough 120minute workout in Greece, Guardiola made sure to aim a dig at the Premier League following its decision to schedule their next game on Saturday evening.
And even joked that the 72 hour turnaround meant celebrations of their maiden win the competition would have to be restricted to soft drinks.
