Ilkay Gundogan, who shone for Manchester City in their 2-1 victory over Manchester United, completely blew Jack Grealish away.
After his team won the FA Cup on Saturday, the England international left a comment on the £20 million (Guardian) man’s Instagram photo.
All Jack Grealish could do was clap for the great man as Ilkay Gundogan led Manchester City to a domestic double against Manchester United with a couple of beautiful volley goals.
Following Manchester City’s victory against Manchester United in the FA Cup final, Jack Grealish gushes about Ilkay Gundogan.
After the game, even Phil Foden remarked that the Sky Blues skipper was “on fire” and noted that his team was fortunate to have him on their side.
Even though City was the superior squad at Wembley Stadium, they were not at their peak on that particular day. Instead, it was Gundogan’s flashes of brilliance that made the difference between the two teams.
Jack Grealish responded, “The absolute GOAT (greatest of all time),” as Ilkay Gundogan celebrated leading Manchester City to their FA Cup victory over Manchester United.
I’ll give Ilkay Gundogan all the credit in the world.
Given how undervalued the 32-year-old has been for years, it is heartening to see colleagues, like Manchester City superstar Jack Grealish, praise him following his exploits against Manchester United.
The former Borussia Dortmund technician’s contributions have gone unnoticed because City’s squad has featured stars like Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne throughout the years.
Gundogan consistently performs at a level that highlights why there haven’t been many more crucial midfielders than him in his generation, especially towards the conclusion of the season.
In the end, the five-time Premier League champion’s behaviour on and off the pitch is not intended to attract attention.
Ilkay Gundogan, on the other hand, quietly and excellently conducts himself, which is very commendable given his long history of excellence.
