Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola states that preparing for Saturday's UEFA Champions League final with Internazionale is a dream.

The Spanish head coach is back in another European Cup final, having lost his only other appearance there with City.

Guardiola, who has two Champions League titles from his time as Barcelona head coach, hopes his side can complete a historic treble this term.

“It's a dream to be here," Guardiola declared to the media.

“It's really good, dreaming of the game and traveling to Istanbul together.

“Two years ago (in 2021) we were here but in a different situation because of COVID. We will do our best.

“A final is how you behave that specific 95 minutes, not about history.

“We have to be better than the opponent – it doesn't matter about the group stage, the FA Cup, the Premier League…

“We have to be better in this game."
