Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists he would not be at the club next season if he didn’t think his squad could improve as a group, despite landing an historic domestic treble this term.
The Catalan manager’s gaze quickly turned to the challenge of winning next season’s Champions League in the hours that followed his side’s 6-0 demolition of Watford in Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley.
City became the first English side to win all three major domestic trophies, adding the FA Cup to the Carabao Cup and the Premier League title – but Guardiola acknowledged that, ultimately, his time at the Etihad Stadium will be defined by whether or not they land Europe’s biggest prize.
