Manchester City secured their seventh Community Shield with a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Manchester United in a thrilling encounter at Wembley on Saturday afternoon. For the second consecutive year, the Community Shield match ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, leading to a high-stakes shootout. Last year, Arsenal emerged victorious in the same scenario, but City reversed the outcome this time around. The first half was a tactical battle with both teams probing but unable to break the deadlock. Manchester City controlled possession, but Manchester United's defence, led by Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans held firm against City's attacking waves.
