They ensured nothing would spoil their party at the Etihad 24 hours later as they clinched a 1-0 win over Chelsea.

And then the pandemonium could begin as Man City supporters invaded the pitch, before the squad lifted the trophy for a fifth time in six seasons.

But football fans were drawn to the emotional reaction of Laporte, 28, during the celebrations.

He could be seen sitting on the pitch in tears as chaos ensued around him.

And many believe he broke down because he could be leaving the club this summer.
