Gralish s viewing against Barcelona has caused controversy, ignoring former club Manchester City s fierce UEFA Champions League

In the early morning of September 19, a night that was supposed to be the focus of the Champions League was heated by a social media update by former Manchester City star Jack Gallish. At that time, Manchester City was playing away against Napoli and playing a key UEFA Champions League group stage, but Gralish did not pay attention to the game of his old club, but instead focused entirely on another European match.

He posted a screenshot of TV screenshots on his personal Instagram account - the live broadcast of Newcastle's home match against Barcelona. In the caption, Galish does not hide his appreciation: "It's great to watch Pedri and De Jong's game!" and an applauding emoji is attached.

publicly showed goodwill to Barcelona midfielder, angering Manchester City fans, this move quickly caused a stir in the fan circle. Many Manchester City supporters were shocked and even dissatisfied with this: when Guardiola led the team to fight hard in the Champions League, a player who had played for many years cheered for other giants in public, which inevitably made people question his professional attitude and emotional belonging.

However, from the reality, the relationship between Gralish and Manchester City has long changed. This season, he was excluded from Guardiola's plan and eventually joined Everton on loan. After the transfer, the midfielder, born in 1995, quickly recovered his form and contributed four assists in the first four games of the Toffees, with outstanding performance.

Everton coach David Moyes praised him, saying that he was "still a top player at the Premier League" and emphasized that his skills and creativity have greatly improved the team's offensive quality.

Back to the game that Gallish was concerned about, Barcelona, ​​without the main winger Ramin Yamal, relied on the outstanding performance of Pedri and De Jong to defeat Newcastle 2-1 away, and scored all three points. The two played for 90 minutes and showed strong ball control and dispatching skills in the midfield, which was the key figure in the team's victory.

What is even more remarkable is that former Manchester United striker Rashford ushered in an explosion in this game, winning two dollars alone, becoming the best in the game. According to statistics from the authoritative data agency Opta, Rashford has become the first Barcelona player to lead the four key data in a single Champions League game since Messi in 2015: shots (6 times), touches in the penalty area (10 times), successful passes (5 times) and win confrontations (6 times).
