Manchester City have lifted the Premier League trophy once again after being presented with this year's silverware following their 5-0 thrashing of Everton on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola's side secured their position as champions on May 11, but had to wait until the final day of the season to get their hands on the trophy.

City were awarded the trophy in front of 10,000 fans who were welcomed back to the Etihad Stadium for the first time this season.

After getting his hands on the silverware, Pep Guardiola said: 'We are lucky to have people here when we lift the trophy - it is not a full stadium but there is enough noise for us to enjoy it with them.

'It feels completely different, it's much better. Every title is nice. This one is different because of the pandemic and the problems that every one of us have had. That's what makes it special.'

Speaking of Sergio Aguero's departure he said: 'We love Sergio so much. He's a special person for all of us. [Choking up] He's so nice, he's so nice.

'He helped me a lot... [Tries to speak and nothing comes out]. We cannot replace him, we cannot.

'There are many players, like Joe Hart and David Silva [and Sergio], that made this club what it is. He showed his quality in 20 minutes!'

While Aguero told Sky Sports: 'I'm so happy, I want to say thanks to my teammates, thank you for everything.

'I'm a striker, my target is to score goals, so I'm so happy because finally my last game, two goals is fantastic.

'The first title for me was the most important for the club and for me. I'm so happy because It's not easy to do 10 years with one club.'
