Only one other English team has accomplished a treble, but it’s hard to compare what Manchester United did in 1999 with what City are doing in 2023. United’s path to victory was strewn with close-run-things and near-death experiences, do-or-die struggles with teams who felt like their equals or even superiors.
City’s story has been different because nobody has been able to give them a game. They have smashed their domestic rivals – 4-1 against Arsenal, 4-1 against Liverpool, 6-3 against Manchester United. They won the FA Cup scoring 19 goals and conceding only Bruno Fernandes’ penalty in the final. They have been untouchable in the Champions League – 4-0 against Sevilla, 7-0 against RB Leipzig, 3-0 against Bayern, 4-0 against Real Madrid.
