LONDON : Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola urged his players to seize the opportunity of a lifetime after they beat arch-rivals Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
He and his relentless players can now achieve sporting immortality next Saturday in Istanbul against Inter Milan when City can be crowned European champions for the first time and match United's 1998-99 still unique treble under Ferguson. City were not even at their best against United in Saturday's Wembley showpiece in which Gundogan scored after 12 seconds - the fastest ever FA Cup final goal.
"To win the FA Cup the emotions are really special. Now is the first time I can talk about the treble... It is one game away," said Guardiola, who led Barcelona to a treble of La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey in 2008-09. German midfielder Gundogan, 32, remains an irreplaceable component in Guardiola's squad and once again showed his knack of scoring crucial goals.
