The UEFA Champions League first-leg semi-final might have gone down yesterday, yet the echoes linger. Recall how the match brought the much-expected fireworks. The match ended in a one-all draw, with Manchester City equalizing to draw level through DeBruner.

However, Jack Grealish has revealed what motivated him to go all out during the match. He said his mother was the brain behind his performance saying the woman spurred him on prior to the clash.

Grealish was on for the entire 90 minutes for Manchester City on Tuesday. He has since opened up on his special relationship with his mum, having received a message before the clash.

"I had a text from my mum before the game saying these are the nights you dreamed of as a kid," he said post-match.

"Everyone in the world was watching. Sometimes you pinch yourself. This is life, innit."
