Stepping over the mountain of the king of the Champions League, the blue moon is in the sky, and the sword points to the three crowns.
The treble is a manifestation of a team's absolute dominance, the ultimate presentation of glory and strength, and in the history of the five major leagues, only Manchester United in 1998/99, Barca in 2008/09 and 2014/15, Inter in 2009/10 and Bayern in 2012/13 and 2019/20...
As strong as Real Madrid, Milan and Liverpool, there has never been a treble in its glorious history, and it will be the ultimate glory if Manchester City can get a ticket to the top giants as a treble.
City are now just three wins away from their most glorious aphice in their history, specifically one of the remaining three Premier League games, Manchester United in the FA Cup final and Inter in the Champions League final. So how difficult is this final step for Manchester City to achieve the ultimate glory of the treble?
Usually, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, but Manchester City, which has crossed the mountain of Real Madrid, is now unstoppable. To put it bluntly, Manchester City have no difficulty winning the treble this season, and if football is round, the only possible surprise is the FA Cup.
This is by no means fanciful or alarmist, but a reasonable inference based on strength and facts.
Let's start with the Premier League championship, the difficulty factor - 0.00
In the last round of the Premier League, Arsenal lost at home to Brighton, and was four points behind Manchester City in one game to play, and Manchester City only need to get three points from three opponents in Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford to successfully defend their title and achieve a third consecutive title.
Three points from three games is a complete problem for Manchester City, which have always been fierce at the end of the season. As things stand, Manchester City need only beat Chelsea at the Etihad this weekend to secure the Premier League title early. It's City's last home of the season and there's no reason why we can't end up victorious in front of our hometown fathers and elders and celebrate the whole city.
Besides, maybe after the match between Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, Manchester City will already lie down and win...
Let's talk about the FA Cup championship, the difficulty factor - 0.10
This is the first Manchester City derby in the history of the FA Cup centennial final, and it is unprecedentedly popular. Manchester City won one game each in the Premier League this season, Manchester City won 6-3 at the Etihad, Manchester United returned to Old Trafford to return 2-1, but this does not mean that Manchester United now have the strength to wrestle with Manchester City, in terms of squad thickness and player ability, Manchester City is still a few streets ahead of Manchester United.
With Manchester United's existing defensive squad, the defense will certainly not be able to hold on, and if you want to prevent Manchester City from winning the FA Cup, you can only hope for miracles, or enough luck.
Finally, the Champions League winner, the difficulty factor - 0.05
With the ease and take-and-take that City have shown in the knockout stages of the Champions League this season, it will be difficult for Inter to cause problems for City in the final. Although there are no underdogs in the Champions League final, this final is probably the least suspenseful since the final between Barca and Juve in 2014/15.
That might be cruel. Although football is not an arithmetic problem, Inter have been beaten 2-0 by Bayern Munich in the group stage of the Champions League this season, and Bayern were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City in the first leg of the quarter-final. Manchester City almost crushed Inter on the third line, perhaps this is a bit disrespectful to Inter, but winning the title is more based on strength.
Premier League champions, no difficulty; Champions League winning, almost no difficulty; The FA Cup winner may not be difficult... Manchester City's treble, steady...
