City are chasing an unprecedented quadruple this season
A cautious Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will celebrate reaching the Champions League quarter-finals, but will not be focusing on it as they continue to compete on four fronts. The win meant that Manchester City are still in the race to win 4 trophies this season. City are runaway leaders in the Premier league and have reached the Carabao cup finals. They also face Everton in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
“Since the first year I arrived they told me that you have to win the Champions League,” said the City boss, who won Europe’s elite club competition twice as Barcelona manager.
“It is always on our shoulders but I’m not concerned about that. If you deserve it in football, you go through. If you don’t, you don’t.”
“I’m more than incredibly impressed and delighted for our players in this tough year for everyone in society,” said Guardiola. “Being 14 points clear in the Premier League, in the final of the League Cup, quarter-final of the Champions League and going to play to get to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
“This is more than winning one quarter-final or one last-16 game. It means that in nine to 10 months, every three days, you are there — and this is the best title you can get.“
