Grealish is a city dedicated to achieving European glory.
Manchester City’s priority, according to Jack Grealish, is to win the Champions League.
Grealish, 26, joined the Citizens for £100 million from Aston Villa last summer and has appeared in six of City’s nine European games this season.
“Most of the boys here, they’ve won everything, several times,” Grealish remarked ahead of tonight’s quarter-final second leg at the Wanda Metropolitano, where City arrives with a tiny 1-0 advantage. This year, everyone is looking forward to the Champions League.
“Obviously, it’s brilliant if we can go and win every competition that we’re in, but that being one that we haven’t won yet, I think that’s what we have our eyes on.
“To have the start that I did, scoring and assisting in the same game, on my Champions League debut, was a dream for me.”
Without a goal or assist since that RB Leipzig victory in September, he will be desperate to make an impact in the Spanish capital this evening.
Shiels comments mar England win
&w=707&quality=100)
Northern Ireland manager Kenny Shiels claimed women being “more emotional than men” was a contributing factor in his side’s 5-0 defeat to England last night.
The comments left a sour taste on what was an historic evening at Windsor Park, as a record-breaking crowd of 15,348 turned out for the Women’s World Cup qualifier between the two home nations.
Shiels said at full-time: “In the women’s game, I’ve noticed, as I’m sure you’re aware, if you go through the patterns, when a team concedes a goal they concede a second one in a very, very short period of time.
“It’s right through the whole spectrum of the women’s game, because girls and women are more emotional than men. So, they take a goal going in not very well.”
However, the 65-year-old has since released a brief statement this morning apologising for his outburst.
He said: “I wish to apologise for my comments made in the post-match press conference last night. I am sorry for the offence they have caused.
“Last night was a special occasion for the women’s game in Northern Ireland and I am proud to manage a group of players who are role models for so many girls, and boys, across the country.
“I am an advocate for the women’s game and passionate about developing opportunities for women and girls to flourish.”
