Pep Guardiola has expressed doubt that Manchester City will be able to secure a treble for the second season in a row, citing a “99.99 percent possibility” that it won’t happen. He referenced the fact that Manchester United never replicated their treble in 1999, leading him to believe that it’s not an easy feat to achieve.
In terms of the club’s status in all three competitions, Manchester City is currently 2 points adrift of Liverpool and level with Arsenal in the Premier League table, with a game in hand against Brentford next week. They are in the round of 16 in the Champions League and will face FC Copenhagen in the first leg of their tie next week. In the FA Cup, they have a fifth-round match against Luton Town at the end of February.
Despite Guardiola’s doubts about repeating last season’s success, bookmakers like William Hill are slightly more optimistic, offering odds of 8/1 for Manchester City to win the league, FA Cup, and Champions League.
Guardiola has expressed some confidence in the club’s Premier League chances, stating that he is pleased with their current standing and their position in other competitions. However, he remains wary of the difficulty of securing another treble.
Overall, while Guardiola seems uncertain about the possibility of another treble for the club, City fans and bookmakers are holding out hope for another historic achievement.
