Pep Guardiola is finally ready to talk about the treble after Manchester City saw off Manchester United with a 2-1 win in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
Two volleys from Ilkay Gundogan, the first of them coming after just 12 seconds, allowed the Premier League champions to complete the domestic double.

With Inter awaiting Manchester City in Istanbul next Saturday, the opportunity is there to match Manchester United’s historic feat of 1999.
“Now is the first time we can talk about the treble,” Guardiola told the BBC. “Against United, it was special for our city, for our fans. We performed really well. Really, really well. I am so pleased.”
Elaborating in the press conference afterwards, Guardiola stressed that his team needs to beat Inter to earn the recognition they deserve.
“We have done incredible, five Premier Leagues, two FA Cups and Carabaos but we have to win the Champions League to be recognised how the team deserves to be. It has been amazing, been fun, but we have to win it.
“We are one game away. I said to the players you have to put the pressure on yourself. To be recognised as something good you have to win Europe.”
