Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has set his sights on winning all the major trophies this season, sending a warning to their rivals in the Premier League, the Emirates FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League. Guardiola believes his team is capable of replicating their success from last season and clinching multiple titles.

The Cityzens advanced to the semi-finals of the Emirates FA Cup after a convincing 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium. Bernardo Silva was the hero of the match, scoring two goals in the first half to secure the win for City. Despite the early goals, Manchester City dominated the game from start to finish, showcasing their quality and determination.

With just two more wins needed to defend their FA Cup title, which they won last season against Manchester United at Wembley, Guardiola’s side is considered the favorites to lift the trophy once again. Additionally, Manchester City is aiming to secure back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles and will face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the competition.

Their first-leg match against Real Madrid is scheduled for April 9th in the Spanish capital, followed by the return leg at the Etihad Stadium. Having knocked out Real Madrid in the previous season, City will be looking to progress to the next stage, where they could potentially face Bayern Munich or Arsenal in the semi-finals.

In the Premier League, Manchester City currently sits in third place, just one point behind league leaders Arsenal and Liverpool. Guardiola remains confident in his team’s ability to challenge for all three trophies, despite the tough competition they face.

“People talk about the Premier League and Champions League but when you win four Carabao Cups in a row and get to six FA Cup semi-finals in a row, this team and this club has something special,” Guardiola said during an interview after a win against Newcastle United.

“We want to win all of them but sometimes it is not possible because of the quality of the opponents and the schedule we have.”

As City prepares for the upcoming matches in the FA Cup, Champions League, and Premier League, Guardiola’s message is clear: Manchester City is determined to make history by conquering all competitions.

The City boss’s confidence and ambition set the tone for what promises to be an exciting and challenging end to the season for Manchester City and their fans.
