'That would change Grealish's City career': £100m man twice goes agonisingly close to putting tie beyond Real Madrid… before Rodrygo sparked incredible comeback just three minutes later

Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish endured more torment in the devastating Champions League defeat at Real Madrid.

The midfielder has struggled to adapt following his club record £100million move from Aston Villa last summer.

He came on as a substitute in 78th minute with City leading 1-0 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate and twice went agonisingly close to putting the tie beyond the Spanish giants on Wednesday night.

Grealish had a shot cleared off the line by Ferland Mendy - and another effort diverted just past the post by the foot of Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut C Courtois.
