Phil Foden and Jack Grealish react as Ruben Dias sends message to Man City fans
Phil Foden and Jack Grealish have reacted to Ruben Dias’ social media message to Man City fans following the 1-0 win over Tottenham.
Erling Haaland scored the only goal in a tightly fought affair in North London on 26 February, though the Norwegian striker was denied a second by a last-gasp controversial VAR call.
Pep Guardiola, who could be in his final season at Man City, watched on as his side got back to winning ways after back-to-back defeats to Real Madrid and Liverpool.
The Citizens can now head into their FA Cup clash against Championship side Plymouth Argyle off the back of a victory, which could be of vital importance at this point in the season.
Ruben Dias celebrates as Man City get back to winning ways
Taking to Instagram [27 February], Dias wrote: “+3 and a clean sheet!” with muscle and shark emojis.
Foden and Grealish both liked the post, with current loanee Kalvin Phillips also leaving a like on the message to City fans.
Pep Guardiola can end 2024/25 campaign on a high note
Football Insider verdict
Supporters have been left extremely disappointed by performances this season, having been knocked out of the Champions League, and EFL Cup, and have no chance of winning another Premier League title.
Arne Slot’s side look increasingly likely to beat Arsenal to the league trophy, which could be the most poetic ending if this is to be Mohamed Salah’s final season at Liverpool.
| Premier League standings | Points |
| 2. Arsenal | 54 |
| 3. Nottingham Forest | 48 |
| 4. Man City | 47 |
| 5. Chelsea | 46 |
| 6. Newcastle | 44 |
The season can still end with success for Man City, though, with a chance of lifting their third FA Cup title under Guardiola, but they will have to overcome the likes of Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Newcastle.
Much like Liverpool, City fans will be worrying about the passing of the torch, with Kevin de Bruyne being touted for a move away from the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season.
There could be a rather eye-watering rebuild ahead of Guardiola this summer, with a number of star exits already being mooted after such a disappointing campaign across all competitions.
Winning the FA Cup would certainly be a nice way to end many of their long spells in Manchester.
