Jack Grealish once again provided a memorable television moment as he joined the CBS Champions League crew for a post-game interview. However, the Manchester City star inadvertently caused a stir by dropping an F-bomb live on-air.
City had just defeated Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg of the Champions League semifinal to book its place in the final with a 5-1 aggregate victory.
Cleary still elated with the result, an extremely excited Grealish made his way to the pitchside crew.
After hugging pundits Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, Grealish was asked how he felt after the victory.
He replied: ‘Listen, Inter Milan have got a lot of experience as well like Real Madrid, listen I don’t know, I’m a bit speechless at the moment I don’t know what to say. I’m f***ing… oops sorry! I’m, erm. I’m buzzing.’

Jack Grealish accidentally dropped an F bomb on live TV during a CBS post-game interview
He and his Manchester City teammates had just defeated Real Madrid 4-0 in UCL action
The moment was quickly followed by Thierry Henry walking towards the desk after having a separate conversation with Kevin De Bruyne in the background, to tell Grealish that he was standing in his spot.
Besides Grealish’s expletive, he tried to express his elation at making it all the way from his days at Aston Villa to reaching a Champions League final with Manchester City.
Although he comically had to keep being reminded to speak into the microphone, with Carragher occasionally having to lift it closer to his mouth.
‘So good, I didn’t know what to think tonight,’ said Grealish.
Grealish also thanked co-host Jamie Carragher for including him in his team of the year
‘I knew what I was coming into with the fans and stuff but with the game, listen the talent they’ve got on the pitch, you never know what’s going to happen, but I certainly didn’t expect 4-0.
Richards then timed in: ‘Come on Jack, how does it feel? From our times at Villa to now Champions League final?’
With a big grin on his face, Grealish replied: ‘That’s the thing, it’s a bit emotional to see where you’ve come from now you’re playing in the Champions League semi-final, I’m so happy man honestly. But we haven’t done anything, yet we’ve still got three finals to go yet.’
Before departing the set Grealish thanked Jamie Carragher for including him in his team of the year.
