Jack Grealish caught the mood of optimism at Manchester City after their 1-1 draw at Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, saying they were ready to finish the job at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday.
City started well but were reeled in by Madrid, who led through Vinícius Júnior’s vicious drive on 36 minutes. The holders, who eliminated City last season in the semi-final, were in charge but then Kevin De Bruyne changed everything, equalising with a fizzing drive midway through the second half.
