Man City boss Guardiola proud Treble is alive

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is proud knowing the Treble is still on.

City are into the FA Cup quarterfinals after their defeat of Newcastle.

“To expect [to be] coming back from the last international break with two months left and be in contention for all the titles means a lot," said the manager.

“People talk about the Premier League and Champions League but when you win four Carabao Cups in a row and get to six FA Cup semi-finals in a row, this team and this club has something special.

“We want to win all of them but sometimes it is not possible because of the quality of the opponents and the schedule we have.

“I remember playing away in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and then at Wembley is so difficult.

“To arrive in your best condition in those situations is difficult but we were there.

“Always you can have a bad night but when you have six times in a row [FA Cup semi-finals], you have less bad nights.

“This is the consistency that proves people who doubt the team wrong."
