Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is reluctant to talk up back-to-back Trebles.

City host Real Madrid in their Champions League quarterfinal second-leg tomorrow night.

Guardiola said: "I am not going to say 'don't feel this' to my players, but I have a different opinion. We are far away from those hypothetical dreams. When we are in the final of the FA Cup and two or three games in the Premier League and in the final of the Champions League I will start to think about that.

"But you see how strong Chelsea are and what is a few points difference with six games to play in the Premier League. When I was a few points behind I said we had to do our job. It is the same feeling now.

"It's like when we drew against Arsenal and the computer said we had no chance and now we have a chance - I don't know if the computer can play left-back or right-back - but we just have to go one game at a time.

"I started to think of the Treble last season only when we beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final. The success for me this season is that we are still there after winning the Treble and are four or five weeks away and still in contention."
