Man City arrive home for trophy parade and celebration after Champions League win
Manchester City fans and players will celebrate together on Monday as the team parades all three trophies from their superb season.
The team returned to Manchester on Sunday, a few brief hours after cementing their names in football’s history books by winning the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup treble.
On Monday, the squad will celebrate with an open-top bus parade through Manchester's city centre at around 6.30pm. A live stage show will be set up in the city's Oxford Road.
Fans will take over the streets of Manchester after a joyous weekend in Istanbul.
Thousands of supporters flew to the Turkish city to watch their team win the Champions League final against Inter Milan.
The previous week they had beaten Manchester United in the FA Cup final. The Premier League title was secured after finally overcoming Arsenal's challenge.
Jubilant fans danced and celebrated in Istanbul's popular Nevizade street.
Strangers hugged each other in the minutes after the final whistle as the street adopted a festival atmosphere.
Some fans stayed an extra night in Istanbul, enjoying the city's sights before flying home early on Monday morning to catch the parade.
Lifelong fan Malcolm Muir, 57, from Stretford, Manchester, said he was hoping to get back in time to watch the parade.
“The parade's in the afternoon, because of the time difference we're getting two hours back.”
