Jack Grealish was left blown away by Ilkay Gundogan, who starred for Manchester City in their 2-1 victory against Manchester United.
The England international commented on the £20 million (Guardian) man’s Instagram post after his side won the FA Cup on Saturday.
As Ilkay Gundogan scored a pair of stunning volleys to lead Manchester City to a domestic double against Manchester United, all Jack Grealish could do is applaud the great man.
Jack Grealish raves about Ilkay Gundogan after Manchester City beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final
Even Phil Foden said after the contest that the Sky Blues captain was ‘on fire’ and even suggested that his side were lucky to have him on their side.
After all, City were not at their brilliant best at Wembley Stadium, despite being the better side but it was Gundogan’s moments of magic that separated both teams on the day.
After Ilkay Gundogan celebrated captaining Manchester City to their FA Cup triumph against Manchester United, Jack Grealish replied by saying, “The absolute GOAT (greatest of all time).”
Ilkay Gundogan deserves all the praise in the world
It is a welcome sight to see fellow teammates like Manchester City superstar Jack Grealish laud the 32-year-old after his heroics against Manchester United, as he has been quite underappreciated for years.
With big-names like Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne in City’s roster over the years, the former Borussia Dortmund technician’s contributions have gone under the radar.
However, time and again, especially during the business end of the season, Gundogan steps up to a level that emphasises why there have not been many more clutch midfielders than him in his generation.
At the end of the day, the five-time Premier League winner’s actions on the pitch and demeanour off the pitch do not aim to seek attention.
Instead, Ilkay Gundogan, quietly yet superbly goes about his business, which deserves a hell of a lot of credit as he has been elite for a number of years now.
