The realisation that winning the Champions League meant winning a treble. Back at the Etihad, and Pep Guardiola ensured the Champions League trophy was used as a physical reminder to his players and opposition sides. City last lost a game inside 90 minutes in the Champions League in April 2022, 23 fixtures ago. The Champions League unlocked the chance to win the Super Cup and Club World Cup, and the City fans won't tire of singing about being champions of Europe. If they got there, and won a second Champions League trophy, you can be sure they will make the most of being European champions once again.
