Jack Grealish laughed off BT Sport presenter Jake Humphreys’s claim about his relationship at Manchester City with teammate Kyle Walker.
Grealish starred once again for Pep Guardiola’s side as they blew away defending champions Real Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday night. It sets up a mouth-watering final against Italian giants Inter in next month’s showpiece event in Istanbul.
City have been imperious in the Champions League this season and particularly at the Etihad, their knockout win home victories over RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Madrid reads three wins from three, with 14 goals scored and none conceded.
Grealish was being interviewed on BT Sport after the match when his teammate Walker joined them pitchside. “You were just saying it feels amazing to play in this team alongside the likes of Kyle Walker,” Humphrey said to the former Aston Villa star, to which Grealish, while laughing, replied: "When did I say that?"
Grealish said of City’s victory: “I am just buzzing to be in this moment. Its so nice. I don’t think a lot of teams would be able to do that (win 4-0) against Real Madrid. We felt unstoppable. I don’t know what it is.”

Two goals from Bernardo Silva before the break had put City in control on the night before an own goal from Eder Militao and a fourth from Julian Alvarez wrapped the game up.
Jubilant City boss Guardiola told BT Sport: "At home we feel very comfortable with our people. I had a feeling we had one year of pain in our stomach with what happened last season, but today everything went out. It was so painful last season, when people said we lacked character, now we're showing how special they are.
"I've said many times, we don't have to comeback from 3-0, just be ourself. We beat them two seasons ago, last season then happened, but the game this season was similar to last season. Today from minute one, we had the feeling that we were ready, so we were calm mentally. I didn't feel nervous or tension, I had the feeling we were ready to produce a good performance."
