- Manchester City – West Ham 3-1
London (Dagbladet): With a big smile, Haaland appeared outside the Phoenix restaurant and nightclub in Manchester.
Gone are the pajamas he wore when Manchester City celebrated league gold last year. There was no gold suit here either – as he had worn during the trilogy ceremonies.
The Norwegian arrived simply wearing shorts and a T-shirt. This time he left the flashy details at home.
City's players took their time celebrating, even though there is another big game on Saturday. Then Manchester United awaits in the FA Cup final.
In pursuit of something no one else has been able to do, Manchester City can do it again. Never before has a club in English football won the Premier League and the FA Cup two seasons in a row.
Now Haaland and co. Do it.
Various clips on social media suggest City players allowed themselves to be loosened last night.
Several newspapers wrote that the celebrations continued until 05.00.
Jack Grealish arrived in a fun Gucci fabric priced at over NOK 30,000. There were only happy faces. And not without reason.
– We are one of the best teams in history, says coach Pep Guardiola.
– If someone had told me that we would win six titles in seven years, I would have answered: “Are you crazy? It's impossible.” We did something absolutely incredible. Six gold medals in the Premier League in the country with modern football and everything that is there…the team and the organization surprise me. It's an incredible club.
But then you have the elephant in the room.
The Premier League accused City of committing 115 breaches of financial regulations. Everton and Nottingham Forest have been punished with points deductions this season.
Deflation can be brutal. But last night there was nothing but joy in Manchester.
