Pep Guardiola has challenged his Manchester City players to claim three more victories to complete a historic treble after their impressive 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.
City will win the Premier League championship if they defeat Chelsea on Sunday for the third time in a row. On June 3, City will compete in the FA Cup final against their neighbors, Manchester United.
Seven days later, they will then play Inter Milan in Istanbul for the chance to become the sixth Premier League team to win the trophy.
“We are there now and the players can think about it, visualise 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.

“The season is really, really, good already with what we have done.
“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.”
