As Manchester City players received their Premier League medals and waited for Ilkay Gundogan to lift the trophy, Pep Guardiola put his arms around Rico Lewis in the middle of the Etihad like a proud dad would.
We don't know what was said, if anything, but the message was: 'Enjoy this'. Lewis had come from only a handful of under-21 appearances last year, practically bypassing the Elite Development Squad, and did enough to impress Guardiola in pre-season that he had a place in the team.
Lewis took his opportunity and ran with it, Guardiola crediting him with transforming City's season by playing so well that Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo and John Stones all had to up their games significantly.
Two of those players rose to the challenge, the other was shipped out, and City lost once in their last 28 games - a dead rubber against Brentford.
