“City stars ready for once in a lifetime opportunity” — Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola firmly believes that his Manchester City players are prepared to seize the “once-in-a-lifetime” chance to achieve a treble.

With the Premier League title already secured, City’s attention now turns to the upcoming FA Cup and Champions League finals against Manchester United and Inter Milan, respectively.

Before focusing on those matches, City must conclude their Premier League campaign with a fixture against Brentford on Sunday. Following a two-day break, the players will resume training next week, dedicating their full attention to the high-profile encounters.

“Everybody knows what position we are in. It comes once in a lifetime, twice in a lifetime? Being champions in the Premier League three games before the end and to play two finals – that doesn’t come every season.

“Once we are there, first of all you have to relax and enjoy and do your best, but no-one can be sure we will be in that position again.

“They are ready. I see many details – how they come up on days off to make treatments, how many hours they stay to make the treatments, how players are individually concerned maybe they cannot play the FA Cup final and Champions League final.

“When you see that you don’t have to tell anything and do anything,” Guardiola said. “We prepare for the finals like we prepare every single game. We are not going to change any routine.”

The Champions League trophy is the only trophy that has eluded Guardiola since taking over at Manchester City. Indeed, the club have never won it and the last time the Spaniard won a European Cup was back in his days in charge of Barcelona.

This no doubt serves as added motivation to both parties ahead of the tie.
