‘One more to go’: Pep Guardiola urges Manchester City to seal historic treble

theguardian.com

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.

City need to beat Internazionale at Istanbul’s Ataturk Stadium to join their crosstown rivals as the only English clubs to claim the treble.

Ad Whilst Mbappe has insisted he doesn’t want to go anywhere this summer, that hasn’t stopped speculation that PSG will push for him to leave during the close season in order to get some kind of transfer fee for him.
