Manchester City’s Treble victory celebrations continued on Sunday night – but only Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Stefan Ortega had the stamina to make it to City.
The trio headed to Manchester’s Tattu Restaurant to join some of the club’s training and backroom crew hours after returning from Istanbul after winning the Champions League.
After what appeared to be an all-night party on Saturday following their 1-0 win over Inter Milan, only a handful of City players continued.
De Bruyne, who was injured in the final, was present with his wife Michele, arriving at 9.30pm and leaving just before midnight, with Gundogan arriving around the same time.
Goalkeeper Ortega, who played in City’s domestic cup matches, also attended the party at the Chinese restaurant.

Tattu’s menu includes a £74.50 per head shared option of caramel soya aged tenderloin, red snapper tom yum, aromatic crispy duck pancakes and seven seasoned seared tuna.
For £99.50, diners can enjoy a menu of Japanese black wagyu, black cod from Shanghai and dim sum, with desserts including a white chocolate dragon egg made from coconut, passion fruit and mango.
City’s celebrations of completing the Treble by adding the Champions League to the Premier League and FA Cup continue on Monday with an open-top bus parade through Manchester.
Pep Guardiola and his team will depart from Tonman Street, Deansgate at approximately 6.30pm.
The bus takes a route through St Mary’s Gate, Cross Street and King Street and ends at the corner of Princess Street and Portland Street.
A live show will take place on Oxford Street, with entertainment from 5.30pm, and the players will take the stage at around 7.30pm.
City flew home from Turkey on Sunday afternoon to be greeted by waving fans at Manchester Airport.
The players posed for photos with the European Cup during their flight, with the trophy even making its way to the pilots in the cockpit.

Jack Grealish, who apparently remained in his match kit throughout Saturday night after singing Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Everywhere’ in the locker room, was seen using the onboard intercom.
After returning to their hotel from Ataturk Stadium at 3am, City’s players, staff and their families partied until after dawn.
Grealish led the celebrations, held on an open-air terrace at the JW Marriott hotel in Istanbul, where rooms cost £1,600 per night.
The English star could be seen rapping while a DJ played thumping disco music in the background.
As dawn broke around 4:30 a.m., a video clip showed the players still going strong as they celebrated their historic achievement.
TV screens captioned ‘Champions Of Europe 2022/23’ were also dotted around the venue and the festivities continued until 8.30am.
A source said: ‘It was a wild night and everyone was in high spirits. Who can blame them? The team had just won the Champions League and therefore deserved a party.
“Jack was the star of the show, DJing and singing until the sun was high in the sky. It was almost nine in the morning before the players began to drift back to their rooms.’

The party would have cost £100,000 but would have been a small change for Man City billionaire owner Sheikh Mansour – who was in the crowd on Saturday night and attended only his second game since taking over the club in 2008 – his first time in 13 years.
The players slept just three hours before boarding the bus for their flight back to Manchester on an Etihad Airways plane painted in the club’s blue and white colours.
Grealish could be seen sticking his head out of a window on the roof of the bus as the fans clapped and cheered as they took off.
Erling Haaland posted a photo of himself on his Instagram smoking a huge cigar, later sharing one of him and Grealish with blue face paint, adding, “Love this man.”
After Saturday night’s game, wives and girlfriends had taken to the field of the Olympic Stadium to join in the wild celebrations.
