It’s Impossible For Man City To Win Quadruple – Pep Guardiola

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has dismissed talks about his team winning a quadruple of title after they reached the semi-finals of the EFL Cup on Tuesday.

City secured a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals after a 4-3 shootout win at Leicester City following a 1-1 draw after extra time, Guardiola’s side took the lead through Bernardo Silva but Leicester forced extra-time when Jamie Vardy equalised with a penalty just before the final whistle at the King Power Stadium.

The 46-year old coach suggested Leicester were lucky to have made it to a shoot-out in the first place, with Gray in his opinion fortunate to win the penalty that Vardy converted.

“The TV doesn’t lie. We can see if it’s a penalty or not, but we overcame the situation. In football, sometimes these kind of things happen.” The Catalan coach said.

The Spaniard was asked if his team could win four trophies this season.

Guardiola’s withering look said it all: “That is not going to happen. Of course not. Come on, that isn’t real. What we’re living isn’t real.

“That is not going to happen. The situation of winning 16 or 17 games in a row in the league and qualifying for the Champions League before we finished the group stage and now we’re here playing with a lot of young players.

“That is not normal. In football you drop points and you lose competitions. I am not thinking about how many titles, I am thinking about the next game.”

City are also 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League and are now in the last four of a competition they are looking to win for the third time in five seasons at Wembley in February.

Arsenal also made it through to the last four by beating West Ham 1-0, while Chelsea host Bournemouth and Manchester United travel to Bristol City on Wednesday.
