“Even in the league, we feel nobody can beat us.” – Jack Grealish

Grealish said: “Unbelievable. Just to be in this moment is so nice. I don’t think many teams can do that to Real Madrid but when we’re all together and playing, especially at home, we feel unstoppable.”

“I saw a stat the other day about how many Champions League games we’ve won at home compared to away, I couldn’t believe it. When we play here in front of our fans, we feel unstoppable. Even in the league, we feel nobody can beat us. You see what we’ve done to Bayern Munich, Leipzig and tonight, it’s unbelievable,” the City player concluded.

When asked about this comment to Pep Guardiola, he said: “I don’t like that, no. Every team is stoppable if you do what you have to do. It’s nice the players feel that, but football can change from one game to another. You have to stay calm. I would like to give the players two days off, but I cannot give them one because the Premier League is there.” Manchester City are currently leading the race to win the Premier League title with 85 points in 35 games. In the last three matches, they will face Chelsea (Home), Brighton (Away), and Brentford (Away).
