The pain of missing out on the title is already tough for most teams to deal with, but giving your rivals a guard of honour must hurt even more.

City's gesture for Liverpool was greeted by criticism by many Reds fans as Bernardo Silva was spotted not clapping while some City players walked away while the Reds stars were still walking onto the pitch.

In South Africa, Chiefs have been on both sides in the past decade as the Soweto giants were given a guard of honour by both Mamelodi Sundowns and Bidvest Wits in 2015.

Chiefs returned the favour two years later when the Clever Boys lifted the Absa Premiership title in the 2016/2017 season.

Moving to Spain, FC Barcelona and Real remains one of the biggest rivalries in football but the Catalan giants showed grace when they gave their bitter rivals a guard of honour in the 2006/2007 season at the Camp Nou.
