Pep Guardiola says repeating Treble success will be ‘impossible’ for Man City
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says it will be “impossible” for his side to repeat last season’s Treble success.
City finished 2022-23 with a hat-trick of major trophies and begin this year’s Premier League campaign against newly promoted Burnley on Friday.
“It is once in a lifetime,” Guardiola said. “It will not be possible to do what we did last season.”
City are bidding to be the first team in history to win four successive English top-flight titles.
But Guardiola said winning the league, Champions League and FA Cup again would be too difficult.
“We climbed the highest mountain last season, but in the last two days we came down from it and now we start again,” he said.
“Everyone has the same intention and there will be a lot of difficulties to climb the mountain as high as possible. Our football, our level, our mentality will dictate how the season will be.”
