“A lemonade stand has more people”, “Hope no one got hurt” – Fans hilariously mock Manchester City for ‘sad’ title celebrations
The weekend was awash with excitement as Manchester City cemented their dominance by claiming the Premier League title. This confirmation arrived on Saturday's wings, propelled by Arsenal's stumble against Nottingham Forest in a 1-0 defeat on the enemy's territory.
The solitary goal from Taiwo Awoniyi shattered the peace in the first half, securing not just a victory for Nottingham Forest, but also a lifeline to extend their stay in the Premier League. Arsenal, on the other hand, were dealt their third defeat in five matches, inadvertently rolling out the red carpet for City.
With a gap of four points separating them from Manchester City and only a single game remaining, Mikel Arteta's men had no choice but to bow out of the race. It was a moment of triumph for Pep Guardiola's warriors, with the coveted title secured once more.
However, not all was a bed of roses for the newly crowned champions. Instead of bathing in the universal adulation expected from such a monumental moment, Manchester City found themselves at the mercy of merciless football fans.
The Cityzens' celebrations were labeled 'sad' by the wider fanbase, which took to Twitter to troll the club.
Here is a selection of tweets from the fans:

Arsenal crash as Manchester City secure Premier League title
As spring unfolded in April, Arsenal seemed to have the Premier League title firmly within their grasp. Boasting an eight-point lead atop the table, the Gunners seemed untouchable. The month of May, however, bore witness to an astonishing reversal of fortune.
A dismal return of just seven points from their last eight outings meant Arsenal's previously unassailable lead quickly evaporated. Meanwhile, the Cityzens embarked on a remarkable unbeaten streak, seizing the opportunity to not only catch up with their faltering rivals but to surpass them altogether.
Despite having two games in hand, Manchester City seized the reins and never let go. This astounding turnaround now marks their fifth Premier League title win in six seasons, affirming their stronghold over English football.
They are slated to return to the Etihad Stadium as newly-crowned champions this Sunday, with Chelsea standing between them and another victory.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have one last chance to end their season on a high note. The North Londoners will face off against Wolves on May 28, hoping to salvage some pride with a triumphant home win to close an ultimately disappointing campaign.
