I'm the King of the World
It was a tale of two Jacks - as a City legend copied a movie icon.
Jack Grealish reproduced Leonardo DiCaprio's most famous moment from Titanic - as young lover Jack Dawson.
The character spreads his arms open with Kate Winslet's Rose DeWitt Bukater at the front of the doomed ship as he cries out: "I'm the king of the world."
Doing the same on an open-top bus, as Grealish did tonight, might not seem so romantic.
But City had their rivals all at seas this season as they completed the ultimate Treble.
Kalvin leads X-ranted chant
Kalvin Phillips led an X-rated chant about John Stones during Manchester City's open-top bus parade as the BBC issued an apology, writes DYLAN TERRY.
The Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League winners capped their Treble triumph with a huge celebration through the streets of Manchester on Monday evening.
And when they eventually got off the bus and made it to a stage that had been set up for them, a microphone found its way to midfielder Phillips.
When the ex-Leeds man received the mic, he launched into a song about defender Stones - who was sensational in their Champions League final triumph.
But unfortunately for the broadcaster, it contained the phrase "he f****g hates United".
Prior to the incident, the BBC had apologised "for any bad language you may hear".
Welcome to the Dance Haal
Erling Haaland let his hair down to dance topless in the rain during Manchester City's Treble celebrations, writes DYLAN TERRY.
But fans were left frustrated by the coverage of the open-top bus parade as the horrid weather caused technical difficulties during the broadcast.
Torrential rain and lightning delayed the bus' departure by one hour on Monday evening.
And reacting to the coverage, one social media user said: "The coverage of the parade from @ManCity has been abysmal fix the stream and show us the players."
While another added: "Coverage is shocking ManCity as if it's bad enough I couldn't be there.
"Stream works perfectly when cutting back to the studio but soon as the players come on all of a sudden there's issues.
"Go back to basics, just stream the parade, no studio, no commentary just give us what we want."
A third replied: "Am finally giving up on the official @ManCity parade stream… absolute pants 👎."
Bernardo exit hint terrifies fans
Manchester City fans have been left terrified after Bernardo Silva was spotted dropping a huge hint he will QUIT the club, writes DAVE FRASER.
During the club's Treble parade, Jack Grealish was hilariously spotted begging the Portuguese playmaker to stay.
Bernardo, 28, has been a key figure in Pep Guardiola's squad as the club finally got their hands on the Champions League trophy and matched Manchester United's 1999 feat.
But he has been linked with a move away from the Man City this summer to embark on a new challenge, with a host of European giants linked.
However, fans are convinced Bernardo shook his head after "agent Jack Grealish" pleaded with him to stay.
One tweeted: "Oh no.. he shook his head."
Drinking fizz in high-vis
Who else?! Jack Grealish donned a high-vis top as he finally sat down with a trophy.
No City player has shown more stamina for partying that the England playmaker.
So he had another bright idea with his outfit on stage.
Jack's different type of downpour...
Jack Grealish's on-stage antics vied with Erling Haaland's topless celebrations as City's stars showed they are nearly as good at partying as they are at football.
Grealish had alcohol poured down his throat on a night of heavy rain.
And even manager Pep Guardiola gave as good as he got.
Despite being a family man, he couldn't be accused of dad-dancing as he swayed around coolly on stage.
Backroom staff joined players for the fun finale to an historic Treble-winning campaign.
Get it down you, Jack
Jack Grealish was happy to have drink poured into his mouth on stage in front of thousands of fans.
The City hero hasn't been shy about his celebrations.
So it's no shock he was in the drink as the Treble party revved up
Won-sung hero
City homed in on all-singing and dancing John Stones - after he was a real rock all season.
The central defender has come a flexible right-back and anchorman midfielder as, arguably, the biggest individual surprise of the season.
And the grinning England ace also showed some nifty moves tonight.
Storming success
City fans swarmed around - showing no signs of being affected by the torrential rain from earlier this evening.
Deafening roars are continuing around the stage, which of course has a huge lit-up banner behind it saying "Treble WINNERS".
Pep happy about the rain
Pep Guardiola joked he was delighted to see the rain - because that's what Manchester is all about.
Thunder and a downpour had dellyed the Treble parade.
But City's players are making up for lost time by lapping it all up on the stage.
Jack Grealish lent back to have alcohol poured down his throat.
And it's clear this celebration will go on for a LONG TIME - even if the official event hasn't got long left.
Players bop on stage as Jack hails best time ever
Worse-for-wear Jack Grealish says he's literally having the time of his life.
He took the microphone on a huge stage in front of thousands of fans to say: "Basically for the past 24 hours I've had the best day and night."
City's players then danced around to array of tunes.
Boss pep Guardiola briefly had a close chat with Phil Foden.
But he was then bopping around with his stars.
Gundogan thanks fans
Emotional Ilkay Gundogan roared out his thanks to fans on the stage.
The midfielder's future is in doubt, despite again being pivotal this season.
But he said: "Thanks very much for all the support during the season.
It's been incredible - we've got THREE TROPHIES!"
Pep says 'Gallagher should be here'
As Man City's players are led onto the stage, manager Pep Guardiola jokes that mega-fan Noel Gallagher "should be here" - rather than in the USA.
The players are now being introduced to the raucous crowd.
Still topless Erling Haaland is whipping up the roars of fans.
And asked how good the party was, John Stones is drowned out.
And there's a blooper on live TV as one singer belts out "f***ing United".
City fans HEART Ake
Unsung hero Nathan Ake looks in reflective mood as he poses with the Premier League.
That was the second stage of City's historic Treble.
It came in the Dutch defender's best ever season - personally as well as trophy-wise.
City are in the building...
Pep's squad are arriving inside after their trip through town.
They're in T-shirts emblazoned with "TREBLE winners".
Before that Phil Foden raised a hand-held cannon in St Peter's Square.
City themselves were on fire after winning the FA Cup - as they overhauled Arsenal to retain their Premier League title and then triumphed in a tense Champions League final against Inter Milan.
Open-topless bus
Erling Haaland looks cooler than ever as he takes a topless selfie on the open-top bus.
City are drifting through the town with the streets crammed with fans.
Something gold, something blue...
The jubilant parade is still creeping through the City - in a blaze of colour.
It's a golden age for the club and the fans are letting them know.
Erl lords it
Erling Haaland is strutting his stuff.
Soon after this pic was taken the 52-goal striker whipped his shirt off on the top of the bus.
That's understandable given the humid conditions.
And economical too - as he might get a free shower.
City rain dance
City fans braved rain and lightning to watch their Treble-winning team's open-top bus parade on Monday evening.
The parade was delayed by more than an hour due to the horrific conditions, but that did not deter the thousands of supporters that gathered to catch a glimpse of their squad.
And many of the squad may their way to the parade via the tram, with Jack Grealish pictured topless on the public transport.
Erling Haaland, John Stones, Ilkay Gundogan, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, Nathan Ake and Stefano Ortega were also snapped on the tram.
And Haaland was dubbed a "menace" for pouring Champagne on Grealish during the chaotic scenes.
Pep Guardiola, who was seen smoking a cigar during the celebrations, and his stable of superstars enjoyed a sensational homecoming after becoming just the second English team in history to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the same campaign.
Haaland is 'absolute menace'
Erling Haaland left fans in stitches after pouring champagne all over Jack Grealish's head.
City are celebrating their historic Treble triumph with an open-top bus parade through the city centre with thousands of supporters joining the party.
The Citizens became only the second English team to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League after rivals Manchester United in 1999.
And Grealish decided to celebrate with a live stream on his phone, but Haaland had other plans.
As the England international spoke on camera, the star striker sneaked up to him and tipped champagne all over his hair.
The Norway international then delivered a demonic laugh while Grealish stood with a long face.
Fans laughed their socks off as they took to social media to join in on all the fun.
One fan tweeted: "Erling and Jack are a dangerous duo."
Another commented: "That laugh caught me off guard."
A third posted: "Worth the £100m just for his trophy celebrations."
Foden's joy after his tough times
Phil Foden missed out on a starting role during City's tremendous climax to the season.
But here he is standing high on the parade bus.
Jack Grealish's brilliant season meant England team-mate Foden struggled for starts once he regained full fitness.
But almost every City has made a point of hailing the squad spirit -with fringe men like Kalvin Phillips celebrating as wildly as anyone after the champions League final triumph in Instanbul.
The Kyle high club
Swaggering City defenders Kyle Walker and Manuel Akanji are surely entitled to flaunt their non-essential sunglasses on a night like this!
Wideman Phil Foden is in the background - where, sadly, he's also been since struggling to regain his starting spot after injury.
But the England ace was a solid sub when replacing injured Kevin de Bruyne during the second half of City's 1-0 win over Inter Milan to clinch the Treble.
Jack the glad
Of course it's Jack Grealish taking centre stage with the celebrations.
He's enjoying it like it's the final minute of the Champions League victory - rather than the triumphant parade nearly 48 hours later.
Silva gets the big one
Bernardo Silva gets his hands on the main prize - the Champions League trophy.
City's players are enjoying this - after winning the Treble has finally sunk in.
But there seems another slight hold-up amid continuing thunderstorms.
Players are pointing out fans amid plenty of banter.
Here's how it looks at home
Confetti guns are firing out as City crawl though the city.
The blur of blue blended with the rain as the Treble winners milked the applause.
