Jack Grealish believes Saturday바카라s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea gives Manchester City the perfect opportunity to put their Champions League agony behind them. (More Football News)
City바카라s hopes of successfully defending their European crown 바카라 and winning a second successive treble 바카라 were shattered on Wednesday as they were beaten by Real Madrid on penalties.
The defeat was particularly galling given that City had dominated the second leg of the quarter-final tie at the Etihad Stadium, but they have little time to dwell on their misfortune.
Attention has immediately shifted to Wembley and a key clash in City바카라s bid to retain one of the other two trophies they won in glorious fashion last season.
Midfielder Grealish said: 바카라We바카라ve not been used to losing, especially in the last couple of years. We always knew it was going to be a tough game against one of the best teams in the world.
바카라It went down to penalties and it바카라s never nice to go out on penalties. Luckily enough for us we바카라ve got another game within three days where we can go and put it right.
바카라Sometimes it바카라s better when it바카라s like that. It바카라s better when you can put it right straight away rather than waiting and dwelling on it for a couple of weeks.
바카라It바카라s the perfect game for us to put it right.바카라
As well as being favourites for the FA Cup, City have put themselves in a strong position to win the Premier League for a fourth year in succession and a sixth time in seven years.
Grealish said: 바카라This year, if we win the Premier League and the FA Cup it would be a hugely successful season. Hopefully we can go on and do that and that바카라s our aim.바카라
It has been a frustrating campaign in a personal sense for Grealish, although he has regained form and his place in the side in recent games.
The 28-year-old England international, who excelled in the treble-winning season, struggled to find consistency after an injury in the autumn and was then hindered by further fitness issues.
바카라It바카라s been difficult,바카라 he said. 바카라Especially on the back of last year, I had such a good season.
바카라At the moment, I feel good and I feel confident. At the start of the season, I don바카라t know, I just didn바카라t feel like I was playing well really. I didn바카라t really feel that fit if I바카라m honest.
바카라But I feel good now. I feel fit and I feel like I바카라m playing with good confidence. Hopefully I can bring that into the end of the season.
바카라We바카라ve still got a lot to play for. The season is nowhere near over yet. I still feel like I바카라ve got a big part to play.바카라
Grealish spoke recently about his determination to repay manager Pep Guardiola for guiding him through his difficult spell and he remains keen to deliver for the City boss.
He said: 바카라I바카라ve got a really good relationship with him. I바카라ve said before that he바카라s the best manager in the world, in my opinion.
바카라I바카라ve had my own problems, even off the pitch, and he바카라s always spoken to me and been there for me.
바카라Hopefully, I can help him and he can help me towards the end of the season.바카라
