Pellegrini said before the ceremony: "It's an honour to be here with Jesús. We were lucky to be with him for three years in Manchester.

"They were three unforgettable years. Of course he was going to count on me being there. Despite being rivals, I admire him.

"The fact that he has a sports city named after him says what he means."
