Manchester City Pep Guardiola
focuses on Treble
By Thys Khiba
Sp a n i s h
football
manager
Josep “Pep”
Guardiola confirmed his
Manchester City team are
now focusing on winning
the Treble as they moved
to within three games of the
historic achievement.
Guardiola is looking forward
to do what their neighbours
Manchester United did in
1999 by being the only
English team to have won
the Premier League, FA Cup
and Champions League in a
single season.
He said it is okay for Man
City players to start visualising it.
Man City are now going to play in two
cup finals after dismantling Real Madrid
4-0 in the second leg of their Champions
League semi-final. The team secured a
5-1 aggregate win.
Brazilian footballer and Manchester City
goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes made some
outstanding saves to keep City’s clean
sheet. Right back defender, Kyle Walker
managed to keep Real Madrid Vinicius
quiet all game with some world-class
defensive play.
Portuguese footballer, Bernardo Silva
and English footballer, Jack Grealish
were excellent in keep Manchester City
in shape. Even though Bernardo made
some rash decisions early on, two goals
speak for themselves. Grealish had one
of the best games as a Man City player
as he terrorised Carvajal.
“We’re closer. Let me win the first two!
“In the Premier League we are close, we
need one more game. And I would say
when we play against our neighbours
and in the final of the Champions League
against an Italian team, be calm.
“The season is really good already with
what we have done. Now we have to lift
the trophies but we’ve had so much joy
and fun with our people this season. We
made our fans happy all around the world.
They saw a good team playing. This is the
biggest compliment. But we are going to
try,” said Guardiola.
City has played 23 games unbeaten and
won their last 15 at the Etihad Stadium.
The team will play Inter Milan in the
Champions League final in Istanbul,
Turkey on 10 June.
