Manchester City can’t win all four trophies – Guardiola
By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has insisted that his side cannot win four trophies this season, after they beat Leicester City on penalties to qualify for the semi-final of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
City are also 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League and have a favourable draw against Swiss side Basel in the Champions League round of 16, but Guardiola ruled out winning all three competitions along with the FA Cup.
“That is not gong to happen,” Guardiola told a news conference.
“Of course not, that is unreal – what we are living is unreal. That is not going to happen.
“The situation of winning 16 games in a row, qualifying for the Champions League two games before the group stage has finished and now playing here with a lot of young players – that is not normal in football.
“You drop points and lose competitions but of course it helps us a lot to keep the record going but I’m not thinking about how many titles.”
