Ronnie Foden becomes social media star after Man City's Treble win
Move over Jack Grealish… Phil Foden’s three-year-old son Ronnie is Man City’s REAL social media sensation building a huge following as ‘El Wey’ – ‘The Dude’ – and he’s a favourite with players too
- Phil Foden’s four-year-old son Ronnie has become a global social media star
- The youngster was firmly involved in Manchester City’s Treble celebrations
- He has been nicknamed ‘El Wey’, or ‘The Dude’, by his South American fans
Manchester City certainly celebrated their Treble win in epic fashion with Jack Grealish pushing his body to the limit with a four-day bender.
The party that started in Istanbul after City won the Champions League on Saturday night, and continued in Ibiza and then a victory parade in Manchester, is only just winding down.
But even Grealish may have been outdone in the partying stakes by Phil Foden’s four-year-old son Ronnie – who has bizarrely become a global social media sensation.
Little Ronnie was on the pitch as City paraded the European Cup, cheering as Erling Haaland lifted the trophy during their lap of honour and posing for pictures with his dad and the famous cup.
He was then seen smiling and laughing with the City players in the dressing room afterwards, including posing for a selfie with Norwegian striker Haaland.

After the squad returned to Manchester – via a 12-hour bender at the Ushuaia Beach Resort in Ibiza in some cases – Ronnie was up on stage with his dad during Monday night’s parade.
The upshot is that Ronnie has become a viral star, with memes featuring his face popping up on Tiktok and Twitter.
Even odder were the clips, from Mexico and South America, of pictures of Ronnie on the walls of classrooms.
He has earned the nickname ‘El Wey’, or ‘The Dude’, among his new legion of fans on the other side of the world.
Ronnie, born to Phil and his partner Rebecca Cooke in January 2019, will certainly have plenty of stories to tell when he’s older.
It’s been a bonkers few days for City’s players, who beat Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul to add the Champions League to the Premier League and FA Cup already won.
City become only the second English team to win this Treble after Manchester United in 1999.
The players partied all night after their victory on Saturday, with Grealish not even changing out of his match kit as they celebrated on a roof terrace at the JW Marriott hotel.

Naturally, Ronnie wanted to be part of City’s victory parade in Manchester on Monday night
The England star was filmed rapping as a DJ pumped out music until dawn broke and beyond.
They snatched just a few hours’ sleep before boarding a flight back to Manchester. However, that wasn’t enough celebrating for some.
A large group then boarded a private jet to Ibiza to continue the party in a private area at the Ushuaia, which is renowned for its DJ sets.
They had to be back in Manchester by Monday evening to board an open-top bus for the club’s victory parade, with Grealish drenched in beer and champagne during the festivities.
Grealish admitted he was ‘in a world of pain’ to Jimmy Bullard but then had to report for England duty ahead of European Championship qualifiers away to Malta on Friday and at home to North Macedonia on Monday.
It’s believed Grealish, Foden, Kyle Walker, John Stones and Kalvin Phillips will be eased back into training by Gareth Southgate and his coaching staff after the wild celebrations.
