A number of Manchester City fans have taken to Twitter to comment on an eye-opening statistic about Jack Grealish and Neymar Junior.
Manchester City face Paris St Germain next in the Champions League and Grealish cannot wait to pit himself against the stellar talents of Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
Grealish watched videos of Neymar at Santos when he was a teenager coming through the ranks at Aston Villa and was dazzled by his skill.
“It’s going to unbelievable going to PSG,” said the record £100million signing. “They’ve got some really talented players, but we have too.

Neymar only recently scored his first goal of the season for PSG, hitting the back of the net from the penalty spot in their recent 2-1 win over Lyon. The Brazilian has started the season slowly, but signs are positive that he is beginning to find his rhythm.
Indeed, Neymar has had a direct hand in a goal in his last three outings, following up his goal against Lyon with assists in wins over Metz and Montpellier, and that potentially spells trouble for Manchester City.
However, while Neymar is beginning to hit his stride, Jack Grealish has made an immediate impact for City. The England international secured a big money move to City over the summer and after a nervy full debut, has excelled, having a direct hand in four goals for Pep Guardiola’s side this term.
Grealish’s best rated performance came in the 6-3 win over RB Leipzig, suggesting he is not overawed by the Champions League, but with his two goals and two assists coming at the Etihad Stadium, he needs to up his game on the road in order to help City to a result in Paris tonight.
Here is what some City fans said in response on the social media platform about this Grealish vs Neymar stat:
