Wolves 0-0 Man City (3-2 pens): 5 points of discussion against the Premier League champions

The wolves left Pep Guardiola in China.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men defeated the Premier League champions in a penalty shoot-out to win the Asian trophy.

But Manchester City boss Guardiola will take his team to Hong Kong, wondering how he could not add another piece of silverware to the collection.

Dominated city. But Raheem Sterling missed a penalty in the first half.

City also spoiled a series of chances in gold and was denied by the brilliant talent of the keeper of Wolves, Rui Patricio.

Patricio then proved that he was the hero of the shooting – rescuing Ilkay Gundogan, David Silva and Lukas Nmecha while the Wolves were carrying it off.

Here are five key discussion points of the game …

1. Pep must find a shooter

Pep Guardiola must find a penalty taker. Raheem Sterling missed the scoring 12 yards and the missing trio Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez both missed a great opportunity to get noticed. Ilkay Gundogan and David Silva both failed during the shooting.

2. Wolves are ready for Europe

Nuno Espirito Santo is ready to attack Europe. The wolves have been busy preparing for their Europa League clash with the Crusaders Irish minnows next week. They looked a little jaded against the bad city, but they still have five days to refine their preparations.

3. De Bruyne is at his best

Kevin De Bruyne has the mood to storm the Premier League. The Belgian regained all his strength after a succession of knee and muscle injuries last season. He made his way at half-time after a 45-minute first minute during which his mix of technical and physical excellence threatened to blow up the Wolves.

4. Wolves still have a missing piece

Wolves need an attacker. Yes, they were without Raul Jimenez, the Mexican enjoying extra leave after playing for his country in the Gold Cup. But Santo must increase his firepower so that his team will enjoy the excellent first season of his team in the Premier League.

5. Sane is in City to stay

Leroy Sane is not going anywhere. Bayern Munich continues to speak publicly about bringing the winger back to Germany, but has not yet bet on the £ 100 star, despite Guardiola's insistence that he will not keep an unfortunate player. Sane has played in both games of the city in China and it seems odd that Guardiola could put the player in shape as he left.
