Guardiola’s Treble winners are currently battling for all three of the trophies they won in a historic 2022/23 campaign.
The boss says it’s hard going when you have players out of action at this point, with games coming thick and fast in the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League, our next assignment seeing a trip to the Bernabeu to face Real Madrid.
But he has faith in his team to continue the charge for more honours.
“The difference is because we have more injured players than last season, said Guardiola.
“We have Kyle [Walker] and Nathan [Ake] today. That means players don’t have time to recover.

“We are going to try but it is difficult in all three competitions in my experience.
“To arrive in the final stages you need the whole squad. Almost no chance if you don’t have everyone fresh.
“You can do it for short time but for three days, three days – a human being cannot sustain for a long, long time.
“At the same time, they have an incredibly competitive mindset.
“Every week is one week less to the end of season.
“Seven Premier League games left, all the players make an exceptional effort to continue to do it.”
