Jack Grealish hits back at critics of his Manchester City celebrations and Ibiza trip

Jack Grealish has questioned why he shouldn’t be allowed to celebrate Manchester City winning the title with a holiday to Ibiza after he was criticised by some.

Grealish left boyhood club Aston Villa for a new challenge at City last summer and the £100m paid off for him as he won the Premier League title in his first season at the Etihad Stadium.

Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan was particularly vocal about Grealish’s wild celebrations after winning the title, while Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insisted he wouldn’t be replicating the England international if the Reds won the Champions League.

There has even been criticism of Grealish’s choice of holiday destination as he flew to Ibiza after winning the title and the 26-year-old is baffled by the scrutiny.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror on international duty, Grealish said: “It’s fine (being England’s poster boy). It is what it is. If that’s what people think, that’s fine. I think it’s a good thing to have – and you just have to embrace it.

“I try not to let anything get to my head. It’s all about enjoying it, as long as I’m enjoying myself, playing football and enjoying life off the pitch even; then I will perform well.
