Aymeric Laporte, a defender for Manchester City, is optimistic about his team’s chances of winning the triple crown and feels they completely deserve it after previous close calls.
If City defeats Real Madrid on Wednesday, they will advance to their second Champions League final in three seasons. If they defeat Chelsea on Sunday, they will have the opportunity to win the Premier League for the fifth time in six years.
On June 3, a first-ever all-Manchester FA Cup final will take place, and following a crucial weekend in which City had the chance to win the Premier League at home with two matches left after Arsenal lost 3-0 to Brighton, Laporte concedes that the emphasis is beginning to narrow.
The 3-0 victory over Everton on Sunday set up a potential celebration at the Etihad Stadium next weekend, which he described as “huge for us and essential for the season.”
“We are worthy of a lot. We have to be concentrated in every game and go above and beyond what we have been doing the last few weeks if we want to win the treble, which we want to achieve.
Ilkay Gundogan, a midfielder, has played a significant role in recent games. He scored twice for a second straight game and assisted Erling Haaland in the victory at Everton.
The German, whose contract expires in the summer, has received praise from Guardiola for his leadership abilities. The Spaniard acknowledged that the German does not speak much, but when he does, his teammates pay attention.
Because of this, Gundogan is arguably the treble-chasing team’s most composed player. When asked what is expected of them for the remainder of the season, he responded, “To keep the group calm and not get too overexcited.
There isn’t much time to heal because there is a game every three or four days, so we must attempt to maximize it.
“We realise that every player will be necessary as the season nears its conclusion. The team and the support for one another are more important than who is playing.
It may be a fantastic way for us to close the season if we can keep the mood up.
