“We want the treble”: Bernardo Silva speaks on City aspirations for the season

Manchester City star midfielder Bernardo Silva has insisted that the Premier League side are seeking to win the Treble for a second consecutive year.

City won the Premier League, Champions league and FA Cup last season and are on track to repeat the achievement.

However, they need to knockout Real Madrid from the Champions League when both team meet for the quarter-final second leg.

Speaking ahead of the match, Silva stated that winning a treble is an “inspiration and motivation” for Manchester City.

“We want to create the legacy. We want two Trebles in a row,” said Silva.

“We want four Premier Leagues in a row. We want the Champions League twice in a row. If we win two Trebles in a row that would be legacy. “[But] in one week we could be out of all the competitions. But we are fighting.”

Bernardo Silva added that it won’t be an easy task but believes the team fighting spirit will help in their quest to win another treble.

“To have that hunger to again go is not easy. It’s a mix of having a lot of players injured, having new players and those that have left. New players have to adapt which is not easy,” he said.

“Our feeling inside is to fight as much as we could. We have to fight. We can fight for all three competitions.”

City after the clash with Real Madrid will shift attention to the FA Cup as they take on Chelsea on Saturday in the semi-final of the cup competition.
