Rival fans mock Manchester City supporters for their celebration after John Stones' goal

Manchester City 5-3 Monaco. One of the very greatest Champions League games of all time. Say what you like about some of the defending from both sides in the gripping encounter but some of the attacking play on display was utterly mesmerising.

Each and every fan in the stadium was witness to an absolute classic and will be able to tell future generations: 'I was there'. Those watching at home will also look back on the game in the same way we talk about the Newcastle/Liverpool classics.

But many of those were enjoying the match on television from a neutral standpoint were rather startled by the fact that City fans in the stands were decidedly unstartled. That's right - they found a way of mocking the Blues even on such a great night.

After John Stones dramatically put the home side in the lead to make it 4-3, the camera panned across the fans behind the goal, and they were hardly reacting in a matter you'd expect. Instead of riotous goonage and limbs everywhere, there was polite applause and pleasant smiles.

It certainly riled rival supporters enough to comment...

Come from behind to go 4-3 up late on in the European Cup and you celebrate like this. City fans are an embarrassment these days.
