The start of the evening parade was delayed because of what City called “adverse weather conditions and lightning storms” but two blue buses — complete with the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies aboard — eventually wound their way through the city streets, with the players and cigar-smoking manager Pep Guardiola wearing T-shirts bearing the words “Treble Winners.”

"It had to be the best parade with this rain, otherwise this is not Manchester," Guardiola said after the squad reached a stage in the middle of Manchester, led by a shirtless Erling Haaland and Ruben Dias with medals around his neck.

City beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final in Istanbul on Saturday to complete the treble and emulate the achievement of Manchester United's class of 1998-99.

It was a first Champions League title for City, along with a fifth Premier League title in six years and a second FA Cup in Guardiola's seven-year reign.
