Manchester City Premier League trophy prank: Champions reveal just how viral video was created with fake trophy

Manchester City have revealed how they pranked the footballing world with a video of the Premier League trophy smashing that went viral.

City paraded the trophy across Manchester earlier this week after they became the first English team to complete the domestic treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

The party atmosphere at the club looked to have taken an awkward turn when a video surfaced online of the Premier League trophy being smashed to bits at their training ground.

City striker Sergio Aguero can be seen shuffling away as the ‘trophy’ lies on the floor after appearing to fall down two stories.

Below you can see the video that caused the social media storm.

Thankfully, this was a carefully planned stunt and the trophy is safe and secure!

It turns out the trophy that smashed was only a fake, and was used to prank a group of Cityzens who were invited to celebrate with Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne.

The two City stars were in on the prank, but the supporters were aghast when the trophy fell off the balcony – proving they fell for it!

And football fans from across the world also fell for the brilliant prank.

You can see how the prank was planned in the below video, released by Man City on Tuesday.

City have experienced cup mishaps in the past when Oleksandr Zinchenko accidentally knocked over the Premier League trophy when they lifted the crown last season.

However, it wasn’t as bad as when Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos dropped the Copa del Rey under a moving bus in 2011.

No Premier League trophies were harmed in the celebrations this year and last year

The Citizens secured the unprecedented domestic treble feat with their 6-0 thrashing of Watford in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

They won the Carabao Cup with a victory on penalties against Chelsea in February and pipped Liverpool to the Premier League title earlier this month.

Roy Keane's assessment of Fred's performance against Man City on Wednesday night was as damning as it can get. The Manchester United legend knows everything you'd ever want to about playing in a central midfield role, and his damning indictment will only add to the noise which surrounds the Brazil international.
