In his post-match comments, Guardiola said: “Fighting for the titles, being there every year, means the mentality of the club – not just the players – is there.
“It is one. Once. Our neighbours did it in how many centuries? Am I excited about the Treble? Not at all.”
Erstwhile Manchester United and England defender, Gary Neville, is of the belief that, the treble is “definitely on”.
