JAKARTA - Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola dismissed talks about his team's potential to win a treble winner or three major titles in one season. The Citizen currently still has a chance to win the FA Cup, English Premier League, and European Champions League. However, Guardiola doesn't want to be too optimistic about that opportunity. I will discuss that with you after we won the FA Cup and English Premier League. Before the Champions League final, we will start talking about treble. Look how far it is, said Guardiola, reported by The Irish Times.City requires a maximum of 13 more wins to win the Premier League, FA Cup, and European Champion League titles. Guardiola's men will reach the FA Cup final if they beat Sheffield United at Wembley on Saturday, April 22 tonight. Then, if they win the remaining eight league games then the championship title will be maintained. Meanwhile, next month Guardiola's side will face Real Madrid in the semifinals of the European Champions League. Nevertheless, Guardiola said that treble is not an easy matter. So far, only Manchester United has ever done so much. We are still very far away. How many trebles in this extraordinary country have they achieved? How many teams?' said the former Barcelona coach. Treble is just once. Our neighbors (Manchester United, ed.) do it in how many centuries? The best thing is to focus against Sheffield United. Are I happy with treble? Not at all,' he added.

Guardiola has previously brought City to the FA Cup semifinals five times. However, only beat Brighton in 2019 on his way to win trophies. Meanwhile, in the European Champions League, Guardiola almost brought City to the first trophy in 2021, but ended up losing to Chelsea in the final.
