Following Manchester City’s historic treble last season, a heartwarming tale of camaraderie from Ruben Dias has emerged, News About Nigeria reports.
The Portuguese star defender has promised to buy a new handbag for Jack Grealish’s mum after an unfortunate incident involving his stomach and alcohol during the revelry.
City’s victorious season saw them clinch the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup, a feat not achieved by an English side since Manchester United in 1999.
Naturally, the celebrations were exuberant, with players indulging in the joy of their hard-earned success.
Among the revelers was Jack Grealish, who was seen partying for weeks following their triumphs.
The story, as revealed by The Sun UK, took an endearing turn when Ruben Dias, decided to partake in some celebratory shots with the team.
Despite not having consumed alcohol before, he made a pact with his teammates that if they secured the treble, he would join in on the party.
True to his word, after the celebrations in Manchester, Dias took a shot at the party.
However, the excitement and fatigue from extensive traveling took a toll on the center-back, causing him to feel unwell.
In a moment of unfortunate timing, he excused himself and discreetly moved behind a curtain to vomit. To his dismay, he discovered that he had accidentally chosen a spot where Jack Grealish’s mother’s handbag was placed.
Determined to make things right, Dias immediately vowed to find a replacement for the vomit-soiled handbag.
City’s goalkeeper, Ederson, shared the lighthearted story with a Brazilian outlet last month, shedding light on the camaraderie and spirit within the team during their moments of celebration.
While Dias may reconsider indulging in alcohol in the future, the incident is said to have strengthened the bond among the players.
