Manchester City stars past and present were out until the early hours of Wednesday morning at a leaving party for Bernardo Silva and John Stones. A host of City players - alongside their wives and girlfriends - were spotted at Louis Night Club in the centre of town.
The party started just 24 hours after City slipped to a 3-3 draw away to Everton on Monday, a result which would've been worse if not for a late comeback. The draw leaves them five points behind Arsenal in the race for the Premier League title, although Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand on the Gunners.
But Tuesday night was about celebrating the careers of Silva and Stones, who'll both leave the Etihad Stadium at the end of this season. The pair are out of contract in June and won't be signing new deals.
Stones, currently their long-serving player, will wave goodbye to City after a decade of service. Meanwhile, Silva is departing after nine trophy-lade years in Manchester.
The Mail report that the stars gathered from 8pm onwards for a party which lasted five-and-a-half hours. The last of the group is said to have left at 1.30am.
It is not known whether they watched their title rivals Arsenal, who at the same time were booking their place in the Champions League final courtesy of a win over Atletico Madrid.
To give Silva and Stones a send-off, the likes of Phil Foden and wife Rebecca Cooke made an appearance. Foden was joined by former team-mate Kyle Walker, who now plays for Burnley.
Foden, clad in a blue baseball jacket and blue jeans, and Cooke reportedly left the venue just before 10pm. England international Marc Guehi, dressed in a brown jacket and black trousers, made an exit shortly after.

Star striker Erling Haaland was accompanied his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, but they weren't spotted by cameras. It's said that the couple hid in the back of a £400,000 Maybach Mercedes S Class to avoid being snapped.
Silva was driven home by club and country team-mate Ruben Dias in his Lamborghini Urus 4x4, despite his apartment being just 150 yards away.
Other players left the nightclub in blacked-out vans after exiting through the bin room. Also in attendance was Mateo Kovacic, who was joined by his wife, Izabel.

Rodri, James Trafford, Nathan Ake, Matheus Nunes, Abdukodir Khusanov, Nico Gonzalez, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait Nouri and Marcus Bettinelli were also in attendance. Stones, however, wasn't pictured.
Kaylee Ake gave an insight into the party on Instagram. Her photos captured bottles of champagne and a list of cocktails named after Silva and Stones.
It wasn't only players who were there. Kolo Toure, who's part of Guardiola's coaching staff, was also seen at the venue.
