Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola urged his players to seize the opportunity of a lifetime and win the treble after they beat rivals Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final. Guardiola joined Arsène Wenger and Alex Ferguson as the only managers to win the English double more than once, having also achieved it in the 2018-19 season.
Manchester City now have the chance to win the Champions League for the first time in their history in Istanbul against Inter Milan and match United’s 1998-99 treble under Ferguson. ‘We have done incredible seasons … but we have to win the Champions League,’ Guardiola said. ‘We have to feel that responsibility, we have to do it. Focus on what we have to do.’
