  • WHAT GREALISH SAID

    Donkey said to Haaland: “The princess, she hasn't taken her eyes off you. I'm gonna be honest with you, you are dreamy.”

    Grealish asked “what about me?”, to which Donkey responded cheekily: “You ok.”

    Donkey added: “You remind me of somebody else. I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm trying not to say the f-word but you definitely have a little Farquaad about you.”

    Grealish was not having that, saying “you’re miles [off it]”, before being asked “what are you maxing out on your deadlift?”

    Grealish replied with “nah I don't do it, au naturel these”, before Donkey ended the conversation with “no implants or nothing?”

  • WHAT NEXT?

    City will be back in action on Tuesday, as they look to get the better of Guardiola’s former employers at Barcelona. They have another friendly with domestic rivals Chelsea to come, before returning to England for the Community Shield curtain-raiser against arch-rivals Manchester United on August 10.
