Manchester City's stars gave supporters a behind the scenes glimpse of the what the euphoric Wembley dressing room looked like following the Capital One Cup triumph before kicking off the celebrations with Noel Gallagher.

The former Oasis star posed for a photo with City frontman Sergio Aguero on Sunday night - and the Argentine was delighted to be pictured with one of the club's most famous fans.

Posting the picture on Twitter, Aguero tweeted: 'With Noel Gallagher!!'

Aguero's team-mate and countryman Pablo Zabaleta also posed for a snap with the High Flying Birds singer. The Argentinean described Gallagher as a 'top man' in his tweet.

Manuel Pellegrini's side came from behind to beat Sunderland 3-1 on Sunday to clinch the first silverware of the season.

Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri notched twice within two minutes to turn the final on its head after Fabio Borini's early strike.

Jesus Navas added gloss to the win as stoppage time approached, and City's players were understandably jubilant once Martin Atkinson blew for full-time.

Victorious skipper Vincent Kompany took to Twitter to post a group picture of the squad alongside the trophy.

But he wasn't the only one.

Sergio Aguero featured in his first game since January and played a part in the second goal before being hooked by the manager. He had a proud thumb up next to the silverware.

Alvaro Negredo and Aleksandar Kolarov also tweeted snaps of themselves clutching hold of the trophy.

The togetherness was there for all to see, with players not picked or injured looking as pleased as those who were handed a starring role.

Pellegrini will need that spirit in the coming weeks.

City have ground to make up in the Premier League and need to turnaround a two-goal deficit away at Barcelona in the last-16 of the Champions League if they want to progress in Europe.

How small is Noel Gallagher? No wonder his brother looked like a big bloke when they were in Oasis. I saw Liam in the pub a couple of months ago and he was only about 5-9. Must be something about midgets and success eh Sergio?

City have a massive youth project going on, with Patrick Vieira at the helm. They are investing a huge amount of money in training facilities for the Elite Development Squad as they are pivotal in future of the club. People love to jump on the let's hate City band wagon, whey they actually know little about the club, and what goes on behind the scenes, but if it makes you feel better to hate us, then go for it. Oh and before you say it, I've been a Season Ticket holder for almost 20 years, and was at the play off final v Gillingham, and been to Wycombe on a Tuesday night so I was there in the bad times too.
