'Just not true' - Ferran Soriano slams Man City critics with comparison to three rival clubs

Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano says the idea that the Blues have won trophies simply because they have spent more money than everyone else is nonsense.

City booked their place in a second-ever Champions League final with a statement 4-0 second-leg victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday, leaving them three games from a historic treble. They can win the Premier League title with victory over Chelsea on Sunday - if Arsenal's result on Saturday hasn't already crowned them champions - before an FA Cup final with Manchester United and a Champions League final against Inter Milan.

Speaking after the Madrid game, Soriano hit out at critics of City's spending, naming Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea as sides who have all spent more than City but haven't matched the Blues' domestic dominance and European consistency in recent years.
