Miguel Almiron will be no doubt be having the last laugh after his Paraguayan team-mate took a swipe at Jack Grealish in a pre-season friendly. Pep Guardiola's side took on Liga MX club América earlier this week, with City running out 2-1 winners in Houston.
Bruno Valdez went through the back of Grealish with a robust challenge that angered the England international. The 26-year-old had a coming together with Almiron's team-mate before an exchange of words.

The Manchester City wide-man made the headlines for making a jibe about the Newcastle winger in City's title winning celebrations. Guardiola's side came from 2-0 down against Villa to claim top spot in the Premier League and when asked by Bernardo Silva what Grealish thought was a major factor, he said: "Riyad, take him off the pitch, as soon as possible. He played like Almiron."
The comments sparked fury among the Newcastle fanbase, with Simon Jordan also taking aim at Grealish for being unprofessional, regardless of their title celebrations.
