So fans were delighted to see Grealish, 27, relaxing during downtime.
He was shown texting during his haircut – before whipping off a hairdresser’s cape covering his body to reveal he was wearing just shorts.
But one viewer referenced Ronaldo’s notorious noodle style, which the 38-year-old has dabbled with over the past two decades.
It’s a rare occasion when Grealish might not be flattered to win comparisons with the legendary five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

And the day after team-mate Erling Haaland turned the air blue by dropping the F-bomb on Grealish during a live TV interview, the ex-Aston Villa skipper turned streaks of his hair light ala the Portugal striker.
He didn’t go the full way, however, as one fan noted: “Thought he gonna transform into Ronaldo noodle hair.”
Another poster wrote: “Champions haircut for my guy @jackgrealish fully deserved.”
Similar compliments included: “He’s always got great hair” … “King” … and “very nice”.
And one fan said: “With a matte product finish and without the hair band jacks hair looks so hot.”
But another observer spotted Grealish was slouching over his phone.
She wrote: “He really needs to show some respect, get off his phone and sit up straight.”
But surely after such an incredible season – and with a club Treble still possible – Grealish should be cut some slack.
