Silva says double treble an 'inspiration' for Man City
Bernardo Silva says an unprecedented double treble is an "inspiration and motivation" as Manchester City prepare to host Real Madrid on Wednesday with a place in the Champions League semifinals at stake.
Last season, Pep Guardiola's men became just the second club in English history to win the treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup – 24 years after neighbours Manchester United achieved the feat.
City drew the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal with 14-time European champions Real 3-3 at the Bernabeu last week.
As the finishing line of the 2023/24 season approaches, they are two points clear at the top of the Premier League with six games to go and face Chelsea in the FA Cup semifinals this weekend.
Silva told reporters on Tuesday he was not surprised by City's relentless success but said there was still a long way to go.
"Obviously it is an inspiration and motivation because we know how well this team has done since I've been here – this is my seventh season," he said. "We want to create that legacy."
