City won the feisty pre-season affair 2-1 thanks to a first half Kevin de Bruyne brace.

The Premier League champions were the second English side to face Club America this summer.

Chelsea held onto a 2-1 win against Club America last Sunday.

However, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel was far from pleased with Club America - accusing the South America side of trying to injure his players.

Grealish may have similar complaints.

Tuchel said: "It was a tough match. Normally you start against a lower team where you can find your rhythm.

“It's very different from training, even if you train at a competitive level like in our squad.

“You could see that they've already started their season. They showed a physical game that we had to adapt to, and I'm happy nobody got injured.

“It was sometimes on the edge for a friendly game in pre-season, especially for us in our first match. But it was ok. We adapted to it and accepted it and did not get frustrated.”
