City are currently enjoying an impressive streak across all competitions, clinching victories in their last nine consecutive matches. Their pursuit of Liverpool in the title race is gaining momentum, and they appear to be the most formidable team remaining in both the FA Cup and Champions League. Moreover, Guardiola rejoices in having a complete squad at his disposal following the return of key players such as John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne, and leading scorer Erling Haaland. Nevertheless, the manager expresses discomfort regarding media discussions suggesting his team could secure another treble.

Guardiola expressed his reservations during a press conference, dismissing notions of a “sixtuple” or “seventuple” as fairy tales. He emphasized the complexity of such achievements and highlighted the upcoming challenge against Everton. Guardiola emphasized the rarity of winning a treble, citing Manchester United’s failure to replicate their 1999 success. He stressed the difficulty of each match, even against seemingly lesser opponents like Brentford, underscoring the satisfaction derived from overcoming tough situations.

Acknowledging the historical significance, Guardiola referenced City and Manchester United as the only English clubs to have secured the treble, noting United’s missed opportunity in 2000 due to prioritizing the FIFA Club World Cup. He also mentioned Barcelona and Bayern Munich as the only teams to have achieved the treble twice, with Guardiola contributing to Barcelona’s triumph in 2009.

Looking ahead, City’s immediate focus is on their Premier League clash with Everton, where they aim to temporarily overtake Liverpool at the summit. Subsequently, they shift their attention to defending their Champions League title with an away fixture against Copenhagen on Tuesday.
