The Spaniard revealed he has told his players to focus on UCL final against Inter Milan and deliver their best.

“To win the FA Cup the emotions are really special. Now is the first time I can talk about the trebleâ€æ It is one game away,” said Guardiola added.

“I’m thinking about what we have to do to beat Inter. I spoke with the players many times. Forget about it. Focus on what you need to do to beat Inter.”

Manchester City has been coming up with collective efforts and they will be looking to clinch the final frontier. The UCL final will be played on June 10.
