'John loves a party' - Kyle Walker claims Man City team-mate Stones drinks 'straight bottles of tequila & Jager' as he lifts lid on wild Abu Dhabi trip

Pep Guardiola’s squad had plenty to celebrate last season as they swept to a historic Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League Treble triumph. Jack Grealish made headlines with his boozy antics on the back of that success, but Stones pushes him close when it comes to drinking escapades.

England star Walker has revealed as much, with the City full-back telling Rio Ferdinand’s FIVE podcast of a trip to Abu Dhabi alongside his domestic and international team-mate: “John loves it [a party]. But he doesn’t drink all season. We went to Abu Dhabi, he had a little go then. But when he goes, it's bottles. It's no mixers, it's just a bottle of tequila, a bottle of jager and he’ll just drink that straight. Just 'give me the bottle' and he drinks it.”

While remaining model professionals during any given campaign, Walker admits that celebrations can get a little wild once trophies have been secured and competitive action comes to a close. He added on toasting victory in style: “I absolutely love it. How high is the high when you're celebrating with the lads? We stretch [nights out] to probably three days.”

City have won 14 trophies during Guardiola’s reign at the Etihad Stadium, with the plan being to collect many more in 2024 as City remain in contention to successfully defend all of the silverware that they secured 12 months ago.
