Citizens in the Confeds Cup

Yesterday night the world witnessed a fantastic rematch between Italy and Spain in the Confeds Cup semis. David Silva featured in Vicente del Bosque's starting XI. He didn't play particularly well but I don't think that he was a burden for the Spanish side. The player who really impressed last night was the new player in Manchester, Jesus Navas. Entering the game for Silva in the middle of the second half, Navas provided Spain with some much needed energy and pace off the bench. He carried the team going forward, combining well with Iniesta. Though it never resulted in a goal, his play created several scoring opportunities, and he fired off a couple of nice shots of his own. Not to mention he was cool as could be under pressure, slotting home the final spot kick to advance Spain to the finals. Overall, Navas's performance was brilliant and City fans everywhere should be excited about what he will bring to the Etihad next year.
