Manchester City winger Jack Grealish has heaped praise on Kevin De Bruyne after their Champions League semi final first leg.

The Citizens had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid away from home in Spain on Tuesday.

They will play the return leg in Manchester next week Wednesday, with Belgian midfielder De Bruyne's stunning long range strike ensuring they go into that clash with parity.

Post-game, Grealish told reporters: "In the end, Kev [De Bruyne] comes up with an absolute worldie. So buzzing for him.

"He's chilled, man. That makes him who he is. He's a laid back, calm guy. Nights like this are made for him.

"You can't count how many times he's scored important goals and got important assists.

"In these big games, it must have meant a lot for him. I'm obviously buzzing for him.

"We all know what a great guy he is and what a brilliant player he's been for this football club. Nights like tonight sum him up really."
