This Jack Grealish chip pass has become a trademark. Grealish made this same pass to Kevin De Bruyne just last week versus Leyton Orient.
Moreover, both chip passes by Grealish resulting in goals. Although this one is a special one versus Real Madrid in the Champions League. However, sadly, Grealish would go off injured at the 30 minute mark.
Grealish chips the soccer ball into an on running Josko Gvardiol, who brilliantly chests the ball down to 24-year-old Norwegian, Erling Haaland, who calmly volleyed the ball into the open space with the inside of his foot.
Watch the Jack Grealish chip pass into Gvardiol in the video below. This is the kind of goal that you think could turn the season around. If only have Manchester City could’ve held on to win this game versus Real Madrid.
Overall, the entire play that results in the goal is incredible. After all, it is Gvardiol who plays the ball into Haaland, and then sprints 40 yards to get into the box to receive the Grealish chip pass.
Additionally, the Jack Grealish chip pass he’s very clever because he gets underneath the ball and puts some backspin on it. The ball kind of hovers in the air for a second.
Furthermore, he places it perfectly just over the defender’s head. They can’t get in touch on it.
Hopefully Grealish can recover in time for the next game. But it’s been said Grealish pulled his groin or maybe his hamstring and that could put them out for a while.
Pep Guardiola said: “I’m pleased for Jack Grealish. Jack has the sense of the street, a player from the street. Most players, for our fault – the manager – are so academic. Jack is one of those that came to fight in these stadiums when people shout; he’s a fighter”.
Finally, Manchester City will have a very tough draw next week in Madrid. Beating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu to go through to the Champions League Round of 16 will be a very difficult task.
