Manchester City parade sees stars celebrate historic Treble success with supporters

Manchester City stars are celebrating their unprecedented record-breaking season with a parade around the city centre on Monday night.

Pep Guardiola's men have been labelled the 'Fourmidables' after securing four domestic trophies during the course of 2018-19.

City have romped to a domestic Treble of Premier League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup - the latter secured with Saturday's 6-0 thrashing of Watford.

And the back-to-back champions also landed the Community Shield - beating Chelsea 2-0 in August - a trophy which they are also lauding as they celebrate their remarkable season of success.

Among a sea of blue supporters, City's open-top bus celebrations began at 6pm at Manchester Town Hall, before taking a 1.5km route through the city centre and finishing at Manchester Cathedral.

Vincent Kompany's legendary status at Man City laid bare by club's attempts to keep him

City stars made their way onto the buses shortly before 6pm, with Fernandinho - who missed the end of the season due to injury - keeping a tight grip on the FA Cup.

Wearing club tracksuits, stars wore specially-designed T-shirts celebrating their achievements, while head coach Guardiola paired them with a tartan flat cap.

Guardiola's flat cap is a tribute to Bernard Halford - the City Life President who passed away this year.

And City's men aren't the only side being celebrated, with the Women's team also being heralded after their own magnificent campaign.

Nick Cushing's side landed both the Women's FA Cup and Contintental Cup in 2018-19.

The celebrations in Manchester are the final opportunity for City fans to pay tribute to outgoing captain Vincent Kompany.

The Belgian defender has spent 11 years at the Etihad, but announced on Sunday his departure after 360 appearances for the club.

Kompany, 33, is returning to his homeland to become player-manager of boyhood club Anderlecht.
