Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland have been partying late into the night following Manchester City’s Champions League triumph on Saturday night.
Pep Guardiola’s side defeated Inter Milan 1-0 at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, with Rodri claiming the decisive goal with a thumping right footed effort just inside the penalty area to claim the historic win for the English club.
City capped off what’s been an incredible season, with the Manchester club claiming the Premier League, FA Cup and now the Champions League to claim a historic treble.
After the match, the City team were seen celebrating in the changing rooms, with Grealish singing along to Fleetwood Mac as the players enjoyed a few celebratory drinks in the dressing room with the trophy.
It was elation for City after they had won, with Guardiola’s side finally claiming the title that had evaded them for so long and there were joyous scenes on the field at full-time, with players welcoming their families onto the pitch to celebrate.

And it seems the celebrations have been continuing long into the night with both Grealish and Haaland posting pictures of the celebrations early this morning.
Haaland, who was seen lapping up the jubilant atmosphere at full time, posted a picture of himself smoking a cigar in celebration of the win, before putting up a shot of him and the England winger, with the caption: ‘Love this guy @jackgrealish’
After the match, Grealish was seen walking out of the Ataturk Stadium still dressed in his kit, holding a boom box, while again dancing and singing to Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Everywhere’.
He too posted on his Instagram early this morning, putting up a clip of him dancing in a packed out night club alongside loads of other City fans and club staff celebrating the triumph.
Man City fans had some difficulties getting to the stadium before the game, and while they again left the stadium to find there were not shuttles to take them back into Istanbul, plenty finally made it back to celebrate the win last night.
And there were jubilant scenes on the streets of Istanbul last night, with fans dancing in the street to celebrate the win, while bars and restaurants around the city were packed with fans.
It comes as Grealish actually admitted after the game that he was ‘awful’ during the match, breaking down in tears during his post match interview, before thanking his manager.
‘I don’t know, this is what you work your whole life for, so happy man,’ he said to BT Sport.

‘I was awful today but I don’t care, to win the treble, this group of players and staff are so special. Anyone that knows me knows how much of a family person I am and how much I love football and is what I work for my whole life.
‘You think back to all the people that have helped you along the way, seeing my family makes me emotional.’
Speaking on Guardiola, he said: ‘He is a genius, I just said to him I want to thank you because you made this happen, he put so much faith in me, buying me for a lot of money even last year when I was playing crap, then this year giving me that platform to go and perform.’
Haaland, meanwhile, said he has an appetite to go on and win the trophy again
‘I think after a couple days when this settles a bit, this feeling of winning this trophy I want to do it again for sure. I know this is how I will think.’

The win sees Pep Guardiola also win his third Champions League title as a manager, the last two came with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011
‘We have to defend what we won this season. In a month or two everything is forgotten, that’s life.’
He also lauded the Spanish manager after the match, saying: ‘He [Guardiola] is really emotional, in such a big game, the pressure is unbelievable,
‘To work for him is really special, we have a really good relationship, he helps me a lot and next season I am looking forward to improving more.
‘To get trained by the best coach in the world every day is a good place to be.’
