Real Madrid hero Guti has responded to a message from Jack Grealish last week.

After Manchester City's Champions League semifinal thrashing of Real, Grealish reposted a video clip of Guti dismissing him as an attacking threat before the game. The midfielder included a zipped face emoji in the post.

In response, Guti wrote on social media: "Very happy and pleased by the response on Twitter from one of my current idols, Jack Grealish.

"Your smileys inspire me. Good luck my friend (Good luck, my friend in English)."
