The England international, however, continued partying throughout the summer before the new campaign kicked off.
But with the Manchester club facing a tricky fixture against Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday, Guardiola has warned his squad to tone down their celebrations.
When asked why the player didn’t engage in an elaborate celebration after City beat Sevilla 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Athens. Grealish told TNT Sports: “Nah, he (Guardiola) put a ban on that.
“Listen, we’ll go home tonight, eat some nice food, and chill. We’ve got another game in… what day is it? Three days. Recovery, and then back to the Premier League.”
