NOEL GALLAGHER says he was left covered in blood and needing stitches after being HEADBUTTED by Ruben Dias’ dad during Manchester City’s title celebrations back in May.
The Etihad went wild on the final day of last season after City’s epic comeback against Aston Villa landed them the Premier League crown.

The City boss burst into tears at the final whistle.
At the same time, fans flooded the pitch to mob their idols.
