Pep Guardiola has played down Manchester City’s chances of clinching a treble this season.

The spaniard believes that there is a long way to go for his side until they can start thinking about the treble.

Although City are still in with a chance of winning the Premier League, FA Cup as well as the Champions League which have eluded them with the season nearing its end.

“We still start to talk about a treble when we have won the Premier League, the FA Cup and then before the final of the Champions League.

“Look how far away that is. JUST eleven games, JUST… We are far away.

“I have said many times, in this country ‘how many times in this country have someone won the treble.”

City will welcome Sheffield United at the Etihad on Saturday in the FA Cup semi-final.

Guardiola believes “it will be an extremely difficult game” despite that his side are favourites to reach the final of the competition.
