Sydney FC were crowned Premiers on Saturday night, as Wellington Phoenix dropped points against Adelaide United to confirm the Sky Blues’ record-breaking title.
The title win sees Sydney FC set a new record for Premierships won (four), with the Sky Blues heading into the Finals Series looking for a record-breaking fifth Championship.
Here’s how social media reacted to the Sky Blues’ success on Saturday.
