In this work, we present an alternative proof to the existence of equilibria for mean field games with common noise. By adapting a compactness criterion for Malliavin differentiable random variables to random processes, we obtain strong equilibria, in which the conditional mean and optimal control are adapted and defined on the original probability space. The proof is simplified by the assumption that players interact through a conditional mean process instead of conditional probability measures as in the general case.
