Not even the Manchester weather could put a dampener on the celebrations, as City celebrated with their fans after becoming treble winners and European Champions.
It wasn’t the glorious sunshine of the previous few weeks, but it wouldn’t be City if it wasn’t all plain sailing.
Typical City might be a thing of the past, but the Typical Manchester weather will never relent.
Since lifting the elusive Champions League on Saturday night in Istanbul, the party hasn’t stopped for City fans and their players.
It had started for the 20,000 or so that made the journey across land and sea to Turkey, with videos coming back home of streets filled with jubilant City fans making those who stayed back in Manchester rather jealous.
Never fear, as City did what they had to do in the final and returned home as Champions, with tens of thousands, if not hundreds, taking to the streets to welcome back their treble winners. Only twice has an English side won the treble, with these same streets filled with similar scenes 24 years ago as United celebrated their three trophies.
Plenty are trying to pit both treble-winning sides against each other, but while the partisan divide will always split this city between red and blue, it’s a testament to Manchester that it boasts the only two treble winners.
This is City’s year, and their fans made sure to enjoy every second, despite the weather delays.
The official start time for the parade down Deansgate, round the town hall and onto a stage next to St Peter’s Square was 6.30pm, but most fans got down even earlier to guarantee a seat.
