Manchester City have been playing almost double the amount of games as their premier league counterparts in recent weeks. Jack Grealish, 27, has found fine form on the left wing for Pep Guardiola, but was rested in their last league game against Leeds, prior to a start vs Real Madrid. 

They still have to face Everton this Sunday (14 May), and then Madrid again just three days later on Wednesday (17 May). Jack Grealish however does not seem to be feeling the fatigue.

The Solihull-born star has shared a video to Instagram of himself having a kickabout with a TikTok star named Louis Matthews, better known to some as Footballtekker5. In the short clip for Puma Football, Grealish and Matthews take turns striking half-volleys into a miniscule goal from different distances.

Grealish wins the challenge overall, with the TikTokker narrowly missing his last strike from a fair distance out. The former Aston Villa captain gets a sweet connection on the ball with his right foot, which sails just above the ground into the bottom left corner to win it.

Puma Football wrote: “How satisfying is that last one 😍 @jackgrealish @footballtekker5”.

One of Jack’s followers consoled Louis in the comments, writing: “It’s the calves don’t feel bad g.”

The Brummie winger’s famous legs were heralded as the primary reason for his victory by fans, with one saying: “Jacks legs win every time”, and another adding: “The calf difference is insane”.

Grealish will now turn his attention to two very important upcoming fixtures. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is expected to rest some of his key players when City head to Goodison Park this weekend, to keep them fresh for the Champions League semi next week. 

Everton will look to take advantage of this to secure their Premier League status after demolishing Brighton at the Amex last week. City will look to pick up 3 points to add to their Premier League title campaign.
