Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is already dreaming of the treble this season following their historical triumph over Los Blancos last night at the Etihad stadium. City seeks reprisal after beating the UCL defending Champions by 5-1 aggregate.
The manager has charged his tireless soldiers to remain resilient as they are just three wins away from winning a treble this season.
Solidified Manchester City are currently the only club in Europe top 5 league with the possibility of earning a treble season. They have sailed their way into the final of the FA Cup, Champions League and a win from being declared Premier Champions.
A win against Chelsea this weekend will earn City their third consecutive Premier League title, while they face neighbours Manchester United in the FA Cup final on 3 June, seven days before facing Inter Milan in Istanbul as they seek to become the sixth Premier League club to lift the trophy.
“We are there now and the players can think about it, visualize it,” Guardiola said. “We are three games away. One in each competition. We can do it.
“We need to win one more game in the Premier League, then we have our neighbours in the Cup and a Champions League final against an Italian side.
“The pleasure of being there and playing against Inter Milan is incalculable, and we are going to enjoy the occasion.”
“Now we have to lift it, but the pleasure, the joy, how much fun we have had this season with our people. We made our fans happy all around the world. They saw a good team playing. This is the biggest compliment. But we are close, and we are going to try.”
