Following Manchester City\u2019s evisceration of Spanish giants Real Madrid, a gleeful Jack Grealish has had his pound of flesh after retaliating at Madridistas legend Guti \u2013 who had summarily dismissed with scathing criticism the former Aston Villa midfielder\u2019s performance after the first leg stalemate at the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n
Madrid and City were at it tooth and nails in the first leg at the Bernabeu, with Kevin De Bruyne’s stellar second-half strike eventually cancelling out Vinicius Jr’s stunning first-half opener.<\/p>\n
Post-match former Los Blancos star Guti was totally unimpressed by Pep Guardiola\u2019s tactics, \u00a0whilst singling Grealish out as a player who was nary a concern for his former club.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe coaches have changed roles, now the bold one is Ancelotti and the defensive one is Guardiola,\u201d a haughty Guti told Spanish channel El Chringuito<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cManchester City have less offensively. They used to have two full-backs who came in like lightning from the back and now they don’t. They put in Bernardo Silva, who is not a winger, and they lose a player there.<\/p>\n \u201cCity have Jack Grealish, who doesn’t dribble past anyone. In the Premier League he might outsmart everyone, but I haven’t seen him in the Champions League.\u201d<\/p>\n Guti’s words have now come back to haunt him with a vengeance on Wednesday night as Grealish and Silva convincingly ran Madrid ragged as they punished the Madridistas at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n Silva drew first blood and scored City’s first two goals as he conveniently picked up the player of the match award, while Grealish terrified Dani Carvajal and was heavily involved throughout as Guardiola’s side sealed a 4-0 win to advance to the Champions League final.<\/p>\n
