Pep Guardiola has dismissed as “fantasy” the notion of Manchester City winning the quadruple this season but it’s hard to see how or when they’ll next be beaten.
Pep Guardiola has dismissed as “fantasy” the notion of his Manchester City players winning the quadruple this season.
It’s certainly a long shot but, on current form, it’s hard to see how or when they’ll next be beaten.
City swept past fellow English Premier League team Burnley 5-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, extending its run of wins to eight in all competitions. In that streak, the team has 33 goals and has not conceded a goal in the last six games — a first under Guardiola.
Kevin De Bruyne scored one goal — a powerful strike from the edge of the box — and had a hand in two others, with Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, and Sergio Aguero scoring along with an own-goal.
“Who is going to stop them winning everything if they are in that mood?” Burnley manager Sean Dyche asked.
City is second in the Premier League, four points behind Liverpool, and into the final of the English League Cup against Chelsea on Feb.
