Erling Haaland's quiet night in Madrid didn't go unnoticed by his Manchester City teammates, who are already plotting how to ensure the striker is more effective at the Etihad next week.
Pep Guardiola brutally shuts down Treble talk as he sets Man City deadline
21.04.2023 - 14:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Pep Guardiola said he had no excitement for a potential Treble as he refused to discuss the prospect of Manchester City winning everything.
The Blues are on a 15-match unbeaten streak in all competitions and the players are out to win everything, with Rodri telling M.E.N Sport that the team feel 'unstoppable' at their best. They can go closer than they ever have before to winning the Treble this weekend if they beat Sheffield United, having lost their last three FA Cup semi-finals.
However, they are four points behind Arsenal in the Premier League and face major obstacles in every competition before they can match something only ever done once in England football - by United in 1999. With so many potential pitfalls between now and the end of the season, Guardiola will not countenance questions on the Treble until they have two trophies in the bag and are in Istanbul for the Champions League final.

"I’m so happy to have had 10 questions before the first one about the Treble!" he said. "It's so nice. We’ll start to talk about the Treble after we’ve won the Premier League and the FA Cup, before the final of the Champions League.
"Look how far away it is to start to talk about that. 'Just' 11 games…we’re far away. How many times in this amazing country has it happened? Once.
"Our neighbours did it. We’re closer to not doing it than to do it. The best is to focus is on if we have enough legs to compete against Sheffield United.
"Am I excited about the Treble? Not at all."
