Ilkay Gündogan has described the Champions League as the trophy Manchester City want “more than all the others” and said the team’s preparations for the final on Saturday against Internazionale in Istanbul, where they will seek to claim the treble, will be “simple”.

Gündogan’s two goals against Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday secured City the Double and made it a case of one more to go as they look to match their neighbours’ triumph of 1999. It was also the 11th major trophy of Guardiola’s tenure at City since he arrived there in the summer of 2016. Under him, the club have won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups.
