Manchester City forward, Jack Grealish has revealed what his mother told him ahead of their Champions League semi-final first-leg clash against Real Madrid.
The England forward said he was spurred on by his mum prior to the game that ended 1-1 at Santiago Bernabeu.
Grealish was on for the entire 90 minutes for Manchester City on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old Three Lions star has since opened up on the special relationship he has with his mum, having received a message prior to the clash.
“I had a text from my mum before the game saying these are the nights you dreamed of as a kid,” he said post-match.
“Everyone in the world was watching. Sometimes you pinch yourself. This is life, innit.”
