Ticker tape and glitter balls, ‘star of the show’ Jack Grealish DJing and everyone still going strong at 8.30am… behind the scenes of Man City’s £100,000 all-night celebrations to toast their Treble

  • Pictures have emerged of Manchester City’s Champions League victory party 
  • Rooms cost £1,600 a night and it’s  thought that the whole party cost £100,000 
  • Jack Grealish led the party, with the winger seen Djing and rapping 

Pictures have emerged of the aftermath of Manchester City’s boozy epic Champions League victory party.

Players, their families and backroom staff were partying beyond dawn after arriving back at their hotel at 3am.

Effervescent Jack Grealish led the party, which was held on an open air terrace at the JW Marriott hotel in Istanbul, where rooms cost £1,600 a night.

Posting a video of himself on his Instagram he could be seen rapping as a DJ played thumping disco music in the background.

Earlier he was seen in the changing room at the Ataturk Olympic stadium after the final whistle singing Man City’s version of Fleetwood Mac’s hit Everywhere.

Another clip shows the party still going strong outside at almost 4.30am as dawn begins to break over Istanbul.

Other pictures show ticker tape strewn on the floor, glitter balls and empty beer bottles strewn across the dance floor.

TV screens with the caption “Champions Of Europe 2022/23” were also dotted around the venue with the celebrations going on until 8.30am.

A source said:’ It was a wild night, and everyone was in high spirits. Who can blame them ? The team had just won the Champions League so they deserved a party.

‘Jack was the star of the show djing and singing until the sun was up and high in the sky. It was almost 9am before the players started to drift back to their rooms.’

The party is thought to have cost £100,000 but would have been small change to Man City’s billionaire owner Sheikh Mansour – who was in the crowd on Saturday night attending only his second game since taking over the club in 2008.

Grealish’s dad Lee was among those seen early on Sunday going for a walk and when asked how he felt said: ‘Amazing. Amazing. Up the City. Up the Villa.’

The players only snatched three hours sleep before they boarded the coach for their flight back to Manchester on an Etihad airways plane painted in the club’s blue and white colours.

Prankster Grealish could be seen with his head poking out of a window on the roof of the bus as fans clapped and cheered as they left.

Erling Haaland posted a picture of himself on his Instagram smoking a huge cigar while later he shared one of him and Grealish with blue face paint adding:’Love this guy.’

After the game on Saturday night wives and girlfriends had come onto the pitch at the Olympic Stadium to share in the wild celebrations.
