Find love for football again

In a post-match interview, Jack Grealish insisted he had found joy in football again after a challenging time at City, despite the trophies he won with "The Citizens".

"I wanted to come here to enjoy football, which is the most important thing for me, and to play football every day. In the last few years, there have been times when I have lost the desire, the love for football – maybe not exactly because I have not enjoyed football as much as I would like.

"My family have told me that when I've been at home a lot. I really love football and I want to get that feeling of waking up on a match day and wanting to go out there. That's how I felt today and hopefully my performance showed that," Jack Grealish told beIN Sports .

The £100m-rated star added that the welcome he received on Merseyside had made him feel like a new man. "I've only been here for about 10 days and I've loved every minute of it. The people have been so welcoming and the manager has been fantastic, always talking to me and making me feel really cared for and loved."
