Following Kevin De Bruyne's crucial goal for Manchester City against Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinal, Jack Grealish believes the Belgian was designed for the competition.
The Premier League leaders and the holders played to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their round of 16 matchup at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night. De Bruyne scored an incredible equalizer.
Despite controlling much of the early action, City trailed an equally outstanding Vinicius Junior goal after 67 minutes when De Bruyne rifled home from a distance.
Prior to the return leg at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, the tie was precariously poised after his screamer.
We all know what a nice guy Kevin is and what a great player he has been for this football team, according to Grealish. Such nights are almost the definition of him and are just created for him.He has accrued too many significant goals and assists for City supporters to count.
"It must have meant a lot to him, and obviously I'm buzzing for him."
In the first half hour, City outplayed Real, who are attempting to win the European Cup for a record-extending 15th time, but they were caught off guard by Vinicius' stunning goal after 36 minutes.
After superb work by Eduardo Camavinga, the Brazilian let fire from 25 yards, and City needed to maintain their calm in a tense environment to get back into the game.
When De Bruyne repeated Vinicius' heroics, they were rewarded, although Real too had their spells of dominance in a tense second half.
Everyone is aware of what the Champions League is like, according to Grealish. It's a fantastic competition with fantastic teams, fantastic stadiums, and fantastic players.When they succeeded, it was their first effort. We persevered despite the fact that there was probably little we could have done to stop the great strike.Everyone shown incredible mental fortitude in continuing to play and try until Kev finally came up with a brilliant idea.
