Jack Grealish jokes that he was signed by Man City because he beat Kyle Walker at Villa. There is a time and a place. Jack Grealish made the most of the festivities as Manchester City paraded their trophy through the streets to celebrate with their fans on Monday. A traditional open-top bus tour that set off from Exchange Square and wound its way through a mile and a half of ticker tape and smoke was the first thing City did. The playing squad, coaches and backroom staff arrived at a special stage that had been built for the back-to-back English league champion outside of Beetham Tower. - Stream ESPN FC Daily on ESPN+ (U.S. only)

There was a City title wedding among the crowds, with one couple tying the knot the day after the title win. Grealish was the star of the bus parade and appeared to be the MC for the occasion. On the final day of the season, the winger cracked a joke about his teammate, who was replaced late in the game. Taking the mic with a huge grin on his face, Grealish offered a sarcastic thank you to Silva for leaving the pitch in the 70th minute because he had been miles off it.

Silva shared a video of him celebrating with Grealish during which the latter made another playful dig at Riyad Mahrez and then popped up at Almiron.
Silva asked his teammate what the secret was. He played like Almiron.

The roast continued on stage as Grealish teased his City teammates in front of the gathered fans, quipping that he was the only player capable of outfoxing Kyle Walker in a 1- vs.-1 scenario.

The 100 million British-record signing clutched a drink in each hand as he made the most of winning his first-ever major honour.
As the celebrations rolled on, the man remained front and center, swinging the trophy around with careless abandon as the City crowd partied around him.
The England international used his strength in his calves to help hoist the other reveller up on his shoulders.
Perhaps the most cool entrance was made by the man himself, who walked onto the stage with a large cigar in his mouth.
IfPep has that celebratory stogie lit, something is going down.
The Spaniard gave himself a victory jig after he claimed to be the best dancer among his staff.
"I'm the best dancer out of my staff by far" 🤣

The evidence suggests otherwise. You would think that a man with 32 trophies won over the course of his managerial career would have had enough practice.
With Erling Haaland due to arrive from Borussia Dortmund in time for preseason, it will be the bookies favourite to be the manager again in 12 months.
