Pep Guardiola said his players could visualise winning the Treble as they moved to within three games of the historic achievement.
Manchester United in 1999 are the only English team to have won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in a single season but City can follow their neighbours if they can end their campaign with three wins. As well as needing one win from three remaining matches to clinch the league title, the Blues are now in two cup finals after demolishing Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.
Guardiola has previously shut down all mentions of the Treble, and even after beating Real asked for him to be allowed to win the Premier League and FA Cup before he has to entertain more questions on it. However, the City boss had to concede that they are now closer to achieving the improbable and his players will be thinking about it.
