Jack Grealish believes the only way to top last season's treble-winning glory with Manchester City is to help fire England to Euro 2024 success.
The 28-year-old played a pivotal role in City capturing the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League as Pep Guardiola's side swept away all in front of them.
Grealish has endured an injury-hit start to the new campaign as a severe dead leg saw him miss almost a month of action.
He returned to the City starting line-up for their 3-1 Champions League win at RB Leipzig last week and is back in the England squad ahead of the upcoming Wembley double-header against Australia and Italy.
Grealish admits improving on such a historic 2022/23 season is not an easy task — but is targeting tournament success as with England as the next milestone.
«I don't mean this to sound weird, but it is difficult in a way because you have such a high of winning the treble and then you do think 'what would ever top that?',» he said.
«Obviously doing something at international level definitely would. But then even at club level you think 'what would top it?' Maybe to win all four including the Carabao Cup but we went out of that last week.
