It’s good that Manchester City finally managed to break their Community Shield curse, which had lasted for the past four years, but at the same time, it could be a “bad omen”.
City beat Manchester United on penalties 7-6 after the original time ended in a 1-1 draw between the two teams.
History shows that in the last 5 years, whoever won the Community Shield lost the English Premier League title.
It started in 2019 when City won the Community Shield, then lost the shield to Liverpool for the first time in the Reds’ history in 30 years.
Over the past 4 years, Arsenal twice, Leicester City once, and Liverpool once won the Community Shield, and all of them failed to win the title that eventually went to Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola and his team dominate the Premier League title, and perhaps this news gives some hope to Arsenal or Liverpool, as they are practically the closest to competing with City for the league this season.
