Jack Grealish was left in tears in a live TV interview after the emotion of clinching the Champions League trophy with Manchester City hit him.
Pep Guardiola's side won Europe's elite trophy with Rodri's second half strike, and claimed the Treble in the process after previously winning the Premier League and the FA Cup.
In the moments after the final whistle, Grealish was left crying as the emotion of what had happened hit him.
Grealish told BT Sport: 'I don't know, this is what you work your whole life for, so happy man. I was awful today but I don't care, to win the treble, this group of players and staff are so special. Anyone that knows me knows how much of a family person I am and how much I love football and is what I work for my whole life.
'You think back to all the people that have helped you along the way, seeing my family makes me emotional.'
The 27-year-old was signed from Aston Villa for £100m in 2021, and became the most expensive English player in the process.
Grealish spoke highly of Guardiola's faith in him after signing him, and helping them on their way to the big European trophy in his second seson at the Etihad.
On the gaffer, Grealish said: 'He is a genius, I just said to him I want to thank you because you made this happen, he put so much faith in me, buying me for a lot of money even last year when I was playing crap, then this year giving me that platform to go and perform.'
