JACK GREALISH joked with Bernardo Silva about the key to Manchester City beating Aston Villa and sealing the Premier League title.
City celebrated their title victory in an open-top bus parade through Manchester on Monday.
And an overexcited Grealish got a little carried away as he poked fun at Bernardo Silva alongside Kyle Walker and John Stones.
The England star, 25, said: "It's been brilliant to win my first title, I want to thank everyone.
"But the main person I want to thank is Bernardo Silva for coming off in the 70th minute, because he was miles off it yesterday."
Silva was replaced by Ilkay Gundogan with City trailing 2-0 and the German scored twice to help his side turn things around.

Later Silva approached Grealish, camera in hand, to against Steven Gerrard's side.
With a huge smile on his face the winger did not hesitate before saying: "There were two secrets... one, Riyad [Mahrez], take him off the pitch, as soon as possible. He played like [Newcastle star Miguel] Almiron yesterday.
"Number two, [pointing at Silva] he's been so good this season, get him off the pitch."
The Portuguese then came up with a third secret, adding: "Number three... keep Jack Grealish on the f***ing bench."

Grealish then burst out laughing and put his head in his hands - possibly because he did in fact remain on the bench throughout.
Silva also had a huge smile across his face with the pair enjoying the banter amid the mass celebrations.
