The Fenix restaurant and bar in the Manchester Goods Yard describes itself as a “space to relax and a place to indulge” and there was no shortage of either as Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland led the revelry during Manchester City’s title celebrations.
City’s relentless march to a record fourth consecutive Premier League crown had required laser focus but on Sunday night Pep Guardiola’s players were under orders to let their hair down and it was clear they were not going to pass up the opportunity to party hard.
It was 5am by the time Grealish was pictured looking worse for wear being helped out of the popular nightspot by a couple of burly minders. He was by no means the only one who celebrated long into the early hours as City’s stars were joined by their wives and girlfriends and club staff.
Team-mate Kevin De Bruyne was spotted slumped in the back of a taxi at the end of the evening and a bleary-eyed Rodri, City’s metronome, for once looked unsteady on his feet by the time he finally called it a night.
Whereas Grealish pitched up in a striking £2,000 outfit by Gucci – the fashion label for which he is a brand ambassador – Haaland opted for more low-key attire with the Norway striker dressed in a casual City T-shirt and shorts.
