A flight carrying the Man City first team was redirected and forced to land in Liverpool.
A Titan Airways flight carrying the squad took off from Lisbon at around 2.12pm on Wednesday, February 16 after their 5 - 0 win against Sporting in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
Once the plane started to descend over Manchester fans noticed it began circling over the airport.

Pictures from FlightRadar show the plane circled over Manchester three times before diverting to Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Manchester has confirmed the Titan plane was carrying the first team and they have successfully landed in Liverpool.
A spokesperson for the club said: "We can confirm the plane transporting the first team home from Lisbon has landed safely in Liverpool, after high winds forced a diversion from Manchester."
A spokesperson from Liverpool Airport said: "Great to safely welcome Manchester City to the football capital of England this afternoon, after their flight was diverted from their home airport due to high winds."
Earlier this week The Met Office issued a "danger to life" weather warning for Merseyside as Storm Dudley makes it's way across the country.
Storm Dudley is the first of two storms set to arrive in Merseyside this week, with a yellow weather warning in place from Wednesday through to Friday.
Storm Eunice is set to move in to replace Storm Dudley on Friday, bringing more strong winds and potentially some snow for parts of the UK.
