Jack Grealish reunites with Aston Villa supporters ahead of Champions League trip

Manchester City and England star Jack Grealish made a video call to Aston Villa fans ahead of their Champions League clash against Club Brugge earlier this week.

Villa were defeated by the Belgian outfit 1-0 on Wednesday night, with the only goal coming from the penalty spot in bizarre circumstances after Tyrone Mings was penalised for picking the ball up from Emi Martinez's goal-kick.

However, that didn't stop the Villa faithful from enjoying their second Champions League away day of the season as a group of supporters were pictured Facetiming the former Villa star after the game.

In a video uploaded to X, Villa supporters can be seen serenading Grealish, who left his boyhood club in August 2021, with a chant from his time at Villa Park.

"Take me on up to the spirit in the sky. It's where I want to go when I die," sang supporters as the 29-year-old smiled on camera. When I die and they lay me to rest, I'm going to go on the p*** with Jack Grealish.

England international Grealish spent nearly two decades at Villa before joining Pep Guardiola's side in a then British record transfer three years ago.

Since moving to the Etihad he has won three Premier League titles and the Champions League.
