Nathan Ake outlines dressing room mentality that has put Man City on the brink of treble

Nathan Ake believes hard work and honesty among the Manchester City squad have put them 90 minutes from the treble, as he pledged that his teammates will do everything to lift the Champions League.

Ake has returned from injury in time for the final games of the season, starting on the bench in the FA Cup final win over Manchester United as Manu Akanji played on the left of the defence. Having played a key role in City's Premier League title win, and their march to the Champions League final next week, Ake said that the collective understanding within the squad is what has put them so close to making history.

"If you're so close you're going to do everything to do it. It's still one big final to go and we have to still focus on it," the Dutchman said after the FA Cup final.
