🎥 Guardiola, Bernardo and Stones say goodbye at Man City parade 👋 | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola has bid a final emotional farewell to Manchester City at an after-party to a parade held to celebrate the club's domestic cup double. 

Thousands of City supporters lined the streets to celebrate their team before an event was held at Co-Op Live arena to salute the legendary manager, as well as the also-departing Bernardo Silva and Joh Stones. 

Guardiola spoke on the deep connection he had with the club and fanbase and said he would hold them in his heart "for the rest of his life."

Earlier in the day, this was the scene in Manchester's city centre. 

Despite falling short in their bid for the Premier League titles, the City squad were in high spirits including Marc Guéhi, who was celebrating a second consecutive FA Cup success. 

Guéhi could line up beside John Stones for England at the World Cup but it was time to say goodbye for the City icon, who was one of Guardiola's first signings and a key man in the 2023 treble win. 

Bernardo Silva was in tears on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium but it was a different type of emotion today as the City legend toasted to a glorious nine years at the club. 

As part of the event, all 20 of the trophies won in Guardiola's incredible decade of dominance were brought out on stage. The return of Vincent Kompany - who captained City to their first four Premier League titles - tore the house down. 

City fans paid tribute to Guardiola with a song that has been sung since his very first game in charge - a 2-1 win against Sunderland in August 2016. 

The night brings down the curtain on the Pep era in the Premier League, which marks a new day both in Manchester and the wider football world.
