Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has acknowledged that the club’s historic Treble has taken a toll on everyone, including him.
Guardiola was speaking after City overcame Brighton 2-1 to snap a two-game losing streak in the Premier League.
Guardiola admitted there is a hangover from last season’s achievements, but the champions were far from their fluid best against Roberto De Zerbi’s team.
“”The Treble affected us all, including me.” We must therefore be present, appearing in the season’s closing minutes, being close to the opposition, and attempting to repeat the feat.
“I have stated of the most times that no one has ever won four consecutive Premier League championships that is how difficult it is. But today it’s crucial to be present, particularly in the Champions League, to advance to the next round, according to Guardiola.
