Manchester City's Pep Guardiola promised to bounce back from their FA Cup final disappointment next season as the English champions celebrated their fourth consecutive Premier League title with a parade on Sunday.
The defeat to local rivals Manchester United in Saturday's FA Cup final prevented City from becoming the first English team to win consecutive league and cup doubles.
However, Guardiola's team made history by becoming the first to win four consecutive English Premier League titles.
Thousands of fans braved torrential rain to watch their heroes travel through Manchester's Deansgate area on open-top buses.
However, the numbers were significantly lower than last year's parade to commemorate a Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup treble.

"We will be back next season," Guardiola said. "The FA Cup, we will take it."
City have won six of the last seven Premier League titles under Guardiola, who has only one year left on his contract.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager laughed off a request to "stay forever" in Manchester but has agreed to at least see out his contract next season.
"Even myself, I couldn't expect to stay here eight years but everything goes well," added Guardiola.
"Step-by-step we are here. It looks routine but it's not routine."
Phil Foden received the football writers' Player of the Year award for his outstanding season, which included 27 goals.
Despite City's success under Guardiola, the England international insists the desire to win is still strong.
A week ago, City defeated West Ham 3-1 to clinch the Premier League title.
Players were then caught out celebrating until the early hours of Monday morning. Still, captain Kyle Walker insisted that he had no role in an uncharacteristically poor performance against United at Wembley.
City trailed 2-0 at halftime thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, and their second-half comeback was too little, too late, despite Jeremy Doku's goal.
