Pep Guardiola
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said on Thursday that last season’s remarkable treble success was a “once in a lifetime” achievement as he tried to lower expectations on the eve of a new campaign.
City, bidding to become the first side to win four consecutive English top-flight titles, start the Premier League season away to Burnley on Friday. They will be favourites for every competition they enter but Guardiola warned against a repeat of last term’s triumphs, which also saw City crowned champions of Europe for the first time as well as lifting the FA Cup.

“It feels like it finished yesterday but we start again,” Guardiola told a pre-match press conference on Thursday. “I don’t think it will be possible to do what we did last season, it’s once in a lifetime. I said to the players forget about it. We climbed the highest mountain last season but we have come down that mountain now,” he said.
