Pep Guardiola has claimed that winning the domestic treble in England is a greater achievement than winning the Champions League.
Guardiola's Manchester City side thrashed Watford 6-0 in the FA Cup final to become the first men's team to win England's three major honours in a single season.
"I love the Champions League, but to [win the domestic treble] is more difficult than to win the Champions League," Guardiola said afterwards.
Manchester City added the FA Cup trophy to their Premier League and League Cup crowns as well as the Community Shield they won in August.
"It's one of the best seasons I have experienced as a manager," Guardiola said.
"I wouldn't say the best, but one of the best for sure.
"To be the first to win the treble means that if one team is able to do that then another team will repeat it sooner or later.
"Winning four titles is something incredible."

You guys are just envious on City.. This team has done what no other team has never done in the history of England football. Please guys try to appreciate goods things. If domestic treble is so easy, why hasn't any team done it before, including ManUni that has been dominating England in the Past. None has ever done it, only the Citizens

Man city is the best team in England so far and so is Guardiola. How much money has klop spent but still waiting for the first trophy in 4 solid seasons? how much money as Man United spent to still finish at number 6? So let's stop debating if u know u know. JEALOUS PIPO WILL NEVER WIN FRIENDS. no Guardiola can't win premier league back to back coz this is England, unlike PL, Laliga and Bundasliga r simple,, blah blah blah.......but now that he has proven u wrong, u now started talking abt money..Look at u[Sadtolook]

Most expensive fullback, Mendy at £52mil. The other flank, Walker at £50 mil. Two fullbacks at over £100 mil. MC hv 4 wingers, mahrez at £60 mil sitting on the bench. All MC players on high salaries. How much motivation do you need when someone's on £100-200 thousand a week? With a huge squad, when you don't play well, some one will come in to take your place or Pep will go out to buy someone. How all these are possible if there isn't the oil money from Abu Dhabi? Is this level playing field? FFP is finally showing its teeth, see if it really bites? Having said all these, I must say Pep Guiodola is a football genius. He's only able to execute his plans in a absurdly wealthy club. Until and unless he brings up a huddersfield or a mk Don, I won't be convinced. Of course, MC fans have been highly protective over Pep and fiercely defend their titles and trophies but one day, when MC become a '' Brighton'' or a' 'Cardiff' ' on a tight budget and when another team, sponsored by oil money and winning everything in sight, you'll know what it's like.

No winning UCL is much more difficult than winning treble. I should say that winning any leagues, cup is not so much easy as other very good teams are playing and they are also looking for the title. It requires a lot of hardwork, effort, dedication, teamwork, strategy, IQ for both players and the coach to win treble, UCL, UEL, other domestic cups and if you win this then your team gets a hall of fame. We, the fans often say that this coach is worthless, he should be sacked, he can win only leauges, trebles but not the prestigious cups but have you ever thought that how much difficult is for a coach to win these titles? how much hard work is required for these? If we can coach a team then we would have feel the pain!!!!!!

I agree that its not easy to win the domestic treble but winning ucl is also very difficult u can't compare which one is more tough, U can talk about this only if u have won the ucl so that u have a reason to prove that it is more difficult but since man city haven't so I guess u can't just directly say domestic treble is more tough its not that I am a barca fan and talking this shit but its fact.
