MANCHESTER CITY chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak has challenged Pep Guardiola to win the QUADRUPLE.
Al Mubarak has acknowledged that there was “nothing to celebrate” in Guardiola‘s first season in charge.
City finished third, crashing out of the FA Cup semis and the Champions League last 16.
But Al Mubarak insists Guardiola’s City can do what no club has done before and scoop all FOUR competitions that they will play in next season.
He said: “It excites me trying to win the Champions League and winning the Champions League.
“That ambition of winning the Champions League and hopefully doing it. That dream excites me very day and knowing we can do it.
“The dream of doing the Treble, yes. You mentioned the Double, no I want to do the Treble, or else let’s go for the Quadruple! Why not?
"My hunger for winning, it's amazing. When we first won the league, I thought this is it, the greatest feeling you can get in football, you can't beat this feeling.
"When we won it the second time, and you want to win it more, you get hungry, hungrier and hungrier.
"I can tell you today, because I've tasted it, because I've felt it, when I look at the future, it's about successfully executing this plan that we constantly develop every year to try to win, winning it in the right way and achieving history for this club forever, that excites me.

"We should have that aspiration. I have it, no doubt. Sheikh Mansour drives me for it every day, but you look at the organisation, you see it in Pep's eyes in everybody within our group.
"Pep wants to win it all and that's what I love most about him because that's how I feel, we want to win it all.
"We might not be able to achieve it, but I can assure you, we're going to try to do that."
Guardiola's mega summer revamp is well under way with one star in the bag and more set to follow.
Portuguese playmaker Bernardo Silva joined last week in a £34million move from Monaco.
And Benfica keeper Ederson is has undergone a medical which will see him arrive for a £33m fee.
Left-back Benjamin Mendy, Silva's former Monaco team-mate, could also come in although a deal is some way off.
Al Mubarak yesterday confirmed that Sergio Aguero will definitely still be at City next season.
