Once the final whistle blew, the players made their way to the dressing room before their trophy presentation.

Sky Sports cameras followed them inside and captured the wild scenes inside.

Spanish midfielder Rodri was spotted raising a beer with his team-mates and swigging from it wildly.

While hungry Bernardo Silva, the hero against Real Madrid in that 4-0 second leg massacre was spotted scoffing a pizza from a box.

Elsewhere, Jack Grealish was front and centre of the chorus line leading his team-mates and the backroom staff in song.

On the pitch, just moments later, the party began to gain momentum once the trophy was presented.

Erling Haaland was drenched in champagne by Kyle Walker as he held the Premier League crown aloft.

As has become a familiar sight in recent years, players and staff, including Guardiola, donned Man City shirts as they received their medals from Prem chief Richard Masters.

Skipper Ilkay Gundogan then hoisted the trophy in front of a gleeful Etihad Stadium.

However, Chelsea fans were divided after their team gave Manchester City the guard of honour before kick off.

City manager Pep Guardiola decided to rest key players like Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan with the title already sealed and the FA Cup as well as Champions League still to play for.

Guardiola opted for back-up options, such as Stefan Ortega, Sergio Gomez, Rico Lewis and Cole Palmer.

Chelsea fans lamented his team selection online – and were not happy to see the “most expensive guard of honour” for City’s “B team”.

One fan tweeted: “Gave the reserves a guard of honour.”

Another posted: “We gave a guard of honour to Pep’s B team.”

A third wrote: “This has to be the most expensive guard of honour.”

On Saturday night, City’s stars were spotted jumping for joy and hugging one another at the club’s training ground minutes after the final whistle blew at the City Ground on Arsenal’s title challenge.

Captain Ilkay Gundogan took to Twitter soon after to celebrate the club’s incredible achievement.

He wrote: “To have helped the club win a third straight Premier League title is something very special.

“The Premier League is without doubt the most demanding and competitive league in the world so that tells you everything about what an achievement this is.

“This squad is so talented and so special and to have been captain this season has been an enormous privilege.

“To have won this trophy three times in a row and five times in six years is incredible. It has been a season I will never forget.”
