Jack Grealish has been told he missed the chance to “change everything” for his Manchester City career after spurning two glorious chances to rubber stamp his side's ticket to the Champions League final.
Signed for £100million from Aston Villa last summer, Grealish was expected to be the final piece in the jigsaw which finally saw them lift Europe’s biggest prize. But the mercurial forward has struggled to find his best form in a City shirt and has found himself in and out of Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up.
In both legs of their semi-final clash with Real Madrid, Grealish was named among the substitutes with a forward line of Phil Foden, Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez preferred. Having failed to even get on the pitch during the pulsating 4-3 encounter at the Etihad, Guardiola turned towards the 26-year-old in the return leg at the Bernabeu.
