‘We are in a position that we will probably never be in again’City have chance to emulate Manchester United’s feat of 1999
Pep Guardiola has urged his Manchester City team to go and win next Saturday’s Champions League final and complete the treble as they may “never again” have the chance set up by Saturday’s 2-1 victory against Manchester United in the FA Cup final.
City’s win completed the Double and came in the first all-Manchester final in the competition’s history, dating back to 1871-72. Two Ilkay Gündogan volleys, the first inside 13 seconds to be the fastest goal in the final, proved enough to beat United, who equalised via a Bruno Fernandes penalty.
