The Chelsea stars experienced a humorous incident before lifting the trophy at their home stadium, Etihad.

Man City secured the league title in mid-April but had to wait until their home game at the Etihad Stadium in the penultimate round last weekend (May 5th) to lift the trophy. Before the crucial moment, the players in blue were excitedly dancing and cheering next to the trophy stand, when one player accidentally knocked the trophy onto the pitch. The Sun reported that the incident occurred while the Man City players were surrounding Yaya Toure, who will be leaving this summer after eight years with the club.

Guardiola's players were startled to find the top part of the trophy lying on the sidelines.

The trophy, adorned with blue ribbons—Man City's traditional colors—lies abandoned on the grass...

...before being put back in its original place by an organizing staff member.

Coach Guardiola was celebrated by his players and colleagues after leading Manchester United to win the Premier League title with four games to spare.

The Spanish coach happily shared his joy with his father, Valenti.
