Jack Grealish wrote himself into Manchester City folklore over the last few days with the winger leading booze-filled treble celebrations - and the party attitude seemingly runs in the family, with dad Kevin Grealish enjoying the atmosphere.
City clicked into party mode on Saturday evening after they beat Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul, claiming a first ever Champions League trophy for the club and completing an illustrious treble.
Rodri's 68th-minute goal eventually sealed it for the Blues, adding European glory to the Premier League and FA Cup. But Pep Guardiola's side were far from their best, and it was tense for fans and family at the Ataturk Stadium.
"I must admit my a*** was going a bit in the last few minutes [of the final]," Kevin told the Mirror. "These finals are rarely classics. I thought Jack was a bit harsh on himself saying he played c**p in his interview after the match, but he's his own toughest critic and he sets his standards so high.

"At the end the first thing he did was race over to come and find us. He jumped into my arms and gave me the biggest hug ever. All of the families were allowed on the pitch to join in the celebrations and have photos taken so those are really special memories."
Celebrations continued long into the night and over the following days, with the playing squad jetting off to Ibiza for 12 hours before returning to Manchester for Monday's victory parade.
Grealish has been at the heart of the partying throughout, orchestrating the singalongs and playing to whichever crowd he is facing. On Monday, the 27-year-old was pictured topless on the bus going through the city - a now iconic photo.
Family members were also revelling in the success of their sons, brothers and boyfriends, with Kevin and Alf-Inge Haaland - the father of Erling - partying together at the Etihad training complex on Monday.
"That just sums up this football club to be honest," he explains. "Yes, it's a massive football club with loads of money and superstar players, but there are really lovely people. All of the families get on really well and Alf, Haaland's old man, is a great bloke, really down to earth.
"He came over to me and said have some of this cigar. I took a drag on it and I nearly coughed my guts up. I've not smoked for 28 years. To be fair to City, they've been brilliant with the celebrations and all the parties. There was one for winning the Premier League at the Tunnel Club (one of the Etihad Stadium's hospitality suites) a few weeks ago.
"The drinks bill came to £47,000, FORTY-SEVEN GRAND! - I saw the receipt - and before you say it, that wasn't just Jack's drinks bill. He actually went home early that night!"
Grealish Jr. managed to pick himself up just enough to join the England setup on Tuesday evening, alongside Blues teammates Phil Foden, John Stones, Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips.
Whether any of the quintet are fit enough to face Malta on Friday evening remains to be seen, but they could be in action for the second Euro 2024 qualifier against North Macedonia on Monday.
