Grealish after Young Boys win: Man City now have a brilliant team

Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish was happy to be part of their 3-0 defeat of Champions League opponents Young Boys.

Erling Haaland scored twice, with Phil Foden also on the scoresheet, as City cruised to victory. Sandro Lauper was sent off for the Swiss.

Grealish said, "Every year we have so many games. Obviously, we are not in the Carabao Cup now, but most of the time we are in all the competitions. To qualify with two games to spare, that is what we wanted to do.

"He [Pep Guardiola] gives us so much. In my opinion, he is the best manager in the world. He has shown that over the years. But you can have the best manager in the world, you also need the team.

"And that is what we have, a brilliant team on the pitch but also off the pitch we have a brilliant team that is so close. We love being with each other every day and playing with each other."

Grealish laid on the pass for Foden's goal and added: "I just thought to hit it straight out to Phil and let him go at the defender one on one. I didn't think it was that good a ball, was it?

"I need to start scoring more goals. I know what I bring to the team asides from goals and assists, but every attacking player wants to score more goals."
