Manchester City is gearing up for what could be a historic treble as they prepare to face Inter in the Champions League final on Saturday. The Blues have already lifted the Premier League and FA Cup this season, and a win in Istanbul would see them become only the third English team to achieve the feat.

Manager Pep Guardiola has urged his players to focus on the task at hand and not get distracted by the pressure of the occasion. Speaking ahead of the final, he said, “We need to move forward in bad moments. We need to be strong mentally and physically. We need to be focused on what we have to do.”

Guardiola is no stranger to success in the Champions League, having won the competition twice with Barcelona. However, he has yet to lift the trophy with Manchester City, and he is determined to put that right this weekend.

“We know how difficult it is to win this competition,” he said. “But we are ready for the challenge. We have a great squad, and we believe in ourselves. We know that Inter is a strong team, but we are confident that we can beat them.”

One of the key players for Manchester City this season has been defender Ruben Dias. The Portuguese international has been a rock at the heart of the Blues’ defence, and he says that the pressure of going for the treble is something that the team relishes.

“We like the pressure,” he said. “We know that we are expected to win every game, and that’s something that motivates us. We know that we have the quality to win the treble, and we are determined to make history.”

Manchester City’s journey to the final has been impressive, with the team winning 11 of their 12 games in the competition so far. They have scored 25 goals and conceded just four, and they will be hoping to continue that form against Inter.

The Italian side, however, will be no pushovers. They finished second in Serie A this season, just one point behind champions Juventus, and they have some top-class players in their squad, including Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez.

But Manchester City will be confident of victory, especially with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, and Phil Foden in their ranks. The trio have been in scintillating form this season, and they will be looking to make their mark on the final.
