Man City boss Guardiola: Winning Champions League EASIER than our Treble

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has declared this season one of the best of his career.

It is the first time in history an English team has won the men's domestic treble - the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

Asked where this season's remarkable achievement ranks amongst his career highlights, Guardiola replied: "It's one of the best seasons I've experienced as a manager - I wouldn't say 'the best' but one of the best for sure.

"To have gone ten months in all competitions and be the first team to do that is incredible. It means we have been consistent every three days.

"I love the Champions League but it is more difficult to do what we have done than to win the Champions League.

"It's not easy being there every three days. We lacked a little bit of energy but it's normal. It's been so tough this week.

"We could not have had more energy but we kept it at the right time."
