Manchester City are Champions of Europe, and after the game against Inter last night, Jack Grealish asked the legendary Thierry Henry a very bold question.
Pep Guardiola and his players are finally Champions League winners.
They won 1-0 at the Ataturk Stadium, with Rodri scoring the only goal of the game.
The Spaniard popped up on the edge of the box to curl an effort around a few Inter players and into the corner.
It was the most important goal he will probably ever score.
City were by no means at their best last night. Nerves seemingly played a part, and Inter were also well organised on the night and made it had for City. They pressed well.
Guardiola did not overthink this time and picked arguably his best line up.
Although some were surprised to see Kyle Walker named on the bench, given how good he has been over the last few months.
After the game, Walker was the subject of a funny interaction between Grealish and CBS pundit Henry.
Thierry Henry gives hilarious reaction when asked by Jack Grealish if he could take on Kyle Walker
Grealish was speaking to CBS after the final and then turned interviewer.
He wanted to know if Henry – one of the best players the game has ever seen – would fancy his chances against Walker, with both players in their prime.
Grealish asked this question while Walker was also stood there being interviewed.
Grealish said: “You’re best position was from the left. Do you reckon you could take him on? Seriously?”
Amid a lot of laughter from Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, Henry joked: In my prime?? All day! We will never know…
Jack Grealish missed the mark with question to Thierry Henry about Kyle Walker
Following a very tense game of football, this was a brilliant, light-hearted interaction.
Grealish appeared to be deadly serious with his question.
Walker is a phenomenal footballer, and one of the best full-backs this country has ever produced. And he was very unlucky not to start last night’s final.
But even he would struggle coming up against a prime Thierry Henry.
The man was unplayable back in the day, and Walker’s sheepish look when Grealish asked the question said it all. Grealish probably thinks the world of his teammate and would back him against anyone.
As Henry said, we will obviously never know. But Henry would surely have given Walker nightmares, just as he did against most players he came up against.
