- Sat, 03 Jun 2023 19:41:54 +0000: Pep Guardiola: Manchester City must win Champions League to be 'recognised' – video - Manchester City | The Guardian
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola urged his players to seize the opportunity of a lifetime and win the treble after they beat rivals Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final. Guardiola joined Arsène Wenger and Alex Ferguson as the only managers to win the English double more than once, having also achieved it in the 2018-19 season.
Manchester City now have the chance to win the Champions League for the first time in their history in Istanbul against Inter Milan and match United's 1998-99 treble under Ferguson. 'We have done incredible seasons ... but we have to win the Champions League,' Guardiola said. 'We have to feel that responsibility, we have to do it. Focus on what we have to do.'

- ‘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.

To seal the FA Cup final the original component of this City era popped up with two moments of typical, routine brilliance
This was perhaps the perfect way to win it, the perfect way to confirm Manchester City’s status as the defining domestic force of the age and all-round era-machine.
The words used to describe this team, the semantic field of Pep-era City, tend to be mechanical. City are a juggernaut, a steamroller, a fully operational death star. They completed the league and Cup Double here with a couple of moments of routine, mid-30s brilliance from a footballer who looks less like a visitor from the footballing future, more like a cuddly pirate.

The atmosphere was part carnival, part powder keg as Manchester United and Manchester City fans shrugged off questions of money and politics and enjoyed the spectacle
When the full-time whistle blew, it felt like the cheers at the sky-blue Waldorf pub in Manchester city centre would be heard at Wembley.
“We’ve won so much over the last 10 years,” grinned 26-year-old Tom Lucas. “But this is special. This is one we’ll be telling our grandkids about.”

Erik ten Hag turned to striker for equaliser against Manchester City but only underlined how money bloat sealed fate years ago
With 14 minutes remaining, Pep Guardiola made his first substitution of the afternoon. Off came Kevin De Bruyne, the best player on the pitch, perhaps with a view to giving him a rest before next Saturday’s Champions League final. On came a fresh Phil Foden, one of the best young players in Europe. Right. Your move, Erik ten Hag.
So it was that a minute later, Manchester United unveiled the secret weapon that they hoped would win them the 2023 FA Cup: Wout Weghorst.
