Jack Grealish sent a message to Manchester City teammate Rico Lewis after the Blues youngster made Champions League history on Wednesday night.
Lewis became the youngest player in Champions League history to score on his first start in the competition, with the full-back bagging against Spanish side Sevilla.
The 17-year-old (17 years, 346 days), who also became City’s youngest ever goal-scorer in the competition, broke the record held by Karim Benzema, who scored on his first start in the Champions League for Lyon against Rosenborg in 2005 when he was 17 years and 352 days.

After the game, Grealish posted a photo of Lewis in the City dressing room. The England international captioned the post: "Hahaha my little bro... Congrats big Travvvv... Buzzing for u".
Lewis made his first start for Pep Guardiola's side in the win over Sevilla, however, the youngster has come off the bench three times in the Premier League and once before in Europe.
The full-back scored an equaliser in the 52nd minute, before the Blues went on to win the clash 3-1 thanks to goals from Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez.
Fellow City defender Ruben Dias also praised his young teammate following his record-breaking achievement, insisting that he expects big things from him.
"Definitely he’s an enormous talent, he’s been with us for a long time now," Dias told BT Sport.
"I think for him to get the opportunity to play a full game and to score. You can see his quality, brilliant things ahead for him, but he has to keep working."
