THE FUSE

The City boss explained that the intensity of the celebrations was a direct reflection of the pressure the squad felt heading into the match. He claimed that a loss would have effectively ended their hopes of silverware, making the three points worth every bit of the noise generated at full-time. Erling Haaland was even seen singing into a television camera during a post-match lap of honour. Guardiola also addressed the City fans' involvement, which included a banner that read: "Panic on the streets of London."
