Bleary-eyed Jack Grealish tries to get some air and Ederson carries on with the beers as tired Man City stars head home | The Sun

JACK GREALISH looked worse for wear as the Manchester City players headed home from Turkey after their Champions League triumph.

Pep Guardiola's men became the first English side to complete the Treble since Manchester United in 1999 following their 1-0 win over Inter Milan in Istanbul on Saturday evening.





They celebrated on the pitch after the game, with defender Kyle Walker insisting, "Put any drink in front of me, I'm gonna destroy it".

Grealish was then pictured drinking a beer in the dressing room, before Erling Haaland smoked a cigar.

And it's safe to say the squad looked somewhat tired as they boarded the team bus on Sunday as they began the journey back to England.

Grealish could be seen getting some air as he yawned out of a window in the roof of the bus.

Manager Guardiola appeared the freshest of the Man City party as he waved to those outside their hotel.

But the same could not be said for Riyad Mahrez who donned some red-tinted sunglasses as he offered a tired acknowledgement for those that had come to see the squad.

Meanwhile, keeper Ederson, who made some key saves in the final, was still holding a beer as he smiled for fans.

Captain Ilkay Gundogan, who lifted the trophy, looked on the better side of those that made their way onto the coach.

And striker Haaland was also snapped exiting the hotel as he brings the curtain down on an incredible season – which saw him register 52 goals in 53 games for the Treble winners.

After winning his third Champions League as a manager – and first in 12 years – Guardiola said: "It was written in the stars that we’d win this season – and we did. I’m feeling tired, calm and satisfied. This f*****g trophy is so difficult to win.

"We knew it would be hard. They are really good. We were anxious in the first half but it was a question of being patient. I told them to be patient.

"You have to be lucky, with Ederson at the end, and this competition is [a toss of] a coin. The momentum came from winning the Premier League and FA Cup and now we have this.

"It was not our best performance. I have no energy to think of next season and we need a break.

"We will start from zero and it’s our job. Winning the treble is so difficult."
