KALVIN PHILLIPS led an X-rated chant about John Stones during Manchester City’s open-top bus parade as the BBC issued an apology.

And when they eventually got off the bus and made it to a stage that had been set up for them, a microphone found its way to midfielder Phillips.
When the ex-Leeds man received the mic, he launched into a song about defender Stones – who was sensational in their Champions League final triumph.
But unfortunately for the broadcaster, it contained the phrase “he f****g hates United”.
Prior to the incident, the BBC had apologised “for any bad language you may hear”.
Phillips only played a small part in Man City‘s Treble triumph during his first campaign at the Etihad.
He made just three starts across the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
But Stones has been integral to the success of Pep Guardiola‘s men this season.
His ability to move from defence into midfield has been one of the major talking points around Man City’s system.

But irrespective of how much each individual player had featured during the campaign, everyone associated with the club was having a wonderful time during the parade.
The likes of Stones, Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland and skipper Ilkay Gundogan were picture making their way to the celebrations by tram.
Grealish was then covered in Champagne by star striker Haaland, before the Norwegian was seen dancing with his hair down.
The parade had been delayed by an hour due to torrential rain and lightning.
But that did not dampen the mood of the players, staff or crowd as they soaked in achieving a historic Treble.
