JACK GREALISH nearly took a tumble as he was saved from falling during Manchester City's open-top bus parade on Sunday.

The Cityzens were denied a double, double 24 hours earlier after they were beaten 2-1 by Man United in the FA Cup Final.

Despite that, Pep Guardiola’s side still made history by becoming the first team to win the title four years in a row after they defeated West Ham 3-1 on the final day to pip rivals Arsenal.

And City’s squad and staff were keen to celebrate their latest Premier League crown by taking the trophy on tour across the city in front of thousands of their fans.

Just like the scenes we witnessed 12 months ago amid their treble-winning exploits, it was England star Grealish, 28, who was the star of the show.

He famously enjoyed a three-day bender ahead of last year’s title parade before featuring in an iconic photo on top of the bus.

But this time the experience was a whole lot scarier for the fun-loving attacker as he narrowly escaped complete disaster TWICE.

Numerous clips went viral on social media of Grealish dancing with his hands in the air as the players took in the adulation from supporters.

However, after being a stop, the bus suddenly moved forward and nearly sent Grealish flying off it.

Fortunately, winger Jeremy Doku managed to quickly catch him and guide him back safely.

But it seems that the star had not learned his lesson as another clip later surfaced of him having another narrow escape.

This one was shot from a supporter on the ground and showed Grealish and Rodri standing up singing along with fans on top of the bus.

Both men were taken by surprise when the bus jolted forwards again but this time the fast-reacting Spaniard Rodri managed to stop Grealish from falling by sticking an arm across his team-mate.

Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne were both also spotted enjoying themselves during yesterday’s parade.

While Footballer of the Year Phil Foden hailed another “special season” at the Etihad.

He said: “It’s been a special season. Nobody has done it before, it’s an unbelievable season.

“It’s the hunger inside me. We’ve got great players, we want to win more next season.”

Meanwhile, Grealish was named in Gareth Southgate’s preliminary Euro 2024 squad despite barely featuring in City’s run-in.

The £100m man featured for just 10 minutes of City’s five games in May and was an unused sub during the FA Cup Final.

However, his boss has backed him to bounce back after he produced just three goals and the same amount of assists.

Guardiola said: “He will be back.

“He’s struggled this season and Jeremy has made an incredible step forward as everyone has seen in the last games.

“But Jack will be back at the level of last season, I'm pretty sure.”
