Manchester City players are relishing their time since winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League to complete an unprecedented treble. The Sky Blue heroes are spending some memorable nights out in Istanbul, Ibiza, and Manchester after becoming only the second English team to achieve the historic feat after defeating Inter Milan 1-0 to claim their maiden UCL title.
The City players took to the streets of Manchester on Monday for an open-bus parade in front of thousands of fans to show off the elusive trophies they won last season. The highlight of their celebration was Erling Haaland who boarded an ice cream van to serve himself a delicious whippy ice cream.

It was my favourite moment ever: Ice cream van owner
Owner, Ejaz Azam later revealed to BBC that he was completely stunned to see the star striker knock on the window of his van. Azam, from Oldham, parked near Mayfield Depot near Manchester’s Piccadilly rail station and described the moment as his favourite. "Haaland asked to come in the van and then we served slush to people. It was my favourite moment ever," Azam said.
“It’s everyone’s dream to come into a van and Haaland was so happy. He kept saying it was incredible. Then people started queuing outside asking for ice cream, so he helped serve some slush. I was so shocked, surprised and amazed," the 36-year-old added.
City players spent £47,000 on drinks to celebrate their win
Meanwhile, City's attacking midfielder Jack Grealish admitted that he had not slept since the Champions League final victory over Inter. His father Kevin Grealish had earlier said the team spent £47,000 on a night of celebrations at the Etihad's premier hospitality suite, the Tunnel Club.
“To be fair to City, they’ve been brilliant with the celebrations and all the parties. There was one for winning the Premier League at the Tunnel Club a few weeks ago. The drinks bill came to £47,000, FORTY-SEVEN GRAND! – I saw the receipt – and before you say it, that wasn’t just Jack’s drinks bill. He actually went home early that night!,” Jack’s father told The Mirror.
