Manchester City players attend the Ballon d'Or awards in Paris, celebrating their Champions League victory and individual achievements.
The Premier League and Champions League anthems may still be booed at the Etihad but nothing screams establishment like sending a whole convoy to the awards for the best players in the world.
Victory in Istanbul clinched their first Champions League trophy and the Treble for Pep Guardiola for his players, and on Monday night a team known for their collective efforts saw a shower of individuals honoured.
It was as recent as August 2022 that Bernardo Silva was claiming that individual honours didn't make sense given the lack of representation from a team that had won four Premier League in five years. "It probably shows that Man City players don't get as much credit as they should," he told ESPN. This is what Guardiola asked for immediately after victory in Istanbul, settling down for his press conference to start reeling off the number of Carabao Cups they had won and ask for belated credit for their domestic achievements. "I like this competition for the fact we won it, part of history, players will be remembered for the rest of their lives but now give credit for five Premier Leagues won in six years," he said.
