Trent Alexander-Arnold speaks on Manchester City. Trent Alexander-Arnold, a dependable right back for Liverpool, expressed his thoughts on Manchester City’s chances of winning the treble this season from the bustling splendor of the Spanish Grand Prix. He said: “I believe Man City is the perennial favorite for everything.”
This unwavering appreciation highlights City’s stunning performance this season and echoes the sentiment that permeates the entire football world. Pep Guardiola’s team is poised to achieve unparalleled triumph, with a heart-stopping treble just about within reach. They only require one victory to prove their unstoppable season run.
They earned a merited 2-1 victory against their bitter rival Manchester United in the FA Cup final. Ilkay Gundogan, a stalwart for City, was the day’s most notable hero and scored a record-breaking brace to write a new chapter in FA Cup final history.
The mysterious City captain stunned the crowd 12 seconds into the game with the quickest goal in FA Cup final history, a beautiful volley. Seven minutes into the second half, Gundogan scored his second goal, which was essential in securing the victory. After seven fruitful years with City, the 32-year-old veteran is reportedly about to leave.

They failed in their attempt to stop City from matching their record treble from 1999. The Pep Guardiola team won the FA Cup for the seventh time by surviving a late United storm.
The hunger, however, is evident among Manchester City’s players. They have their sights set on something greater than the English coasts. The Sky Blues are currently on their way to Istanbul, where they will face Inter Milan the next weekend. There is a trophy they have never won at stake: the coveted title of European champions.
Their goal will be to equal Manchester United’s illustrious 1998–1999 treble, which was accomplished while Sir Alex Ferguson kept a close eye on everything.
