Jack Grealish talks to BT, as the City fans still in the stadium serenade him with a chorus of Super Jackie Grealish. “I loved it, man … these are the nights … you can have a few nerves, but these are the nights you play football for … it’s like a dream come true … we have a perfect balance of experience … youngsters who are world class … we just have quality … I’ve never felt so confident going onto the pitch and having these players around me … it was a good battle, I really enjoyed it … I’ve never had cramp before! … De Bruyne’s goal was unbelievable … you wouldn’t choose it to fall to anyone else … at the Etihad we feel unstoppable … we came here to try to win … it shows our character … in the end I think it was a fair result.”
The City fans also have a song for BT pundit Rio Ferdinand, the lyrics of which are not suitable for a non-specialist website. Poor Rio! He’s just doing his job!
