Manchester City is set for a crucial Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid as they continue to chase success on three fronts. The tie is finely balanced at 3-3 heading into the match at Etihad Stadium. In addition to their European campaign, City sits at the top of the Premier League and is set to face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals over the weekend.
If City were to secure victories in all three competitions this season, it would mark an unprecedented ‘double-Treble,’ a feat they achieved just last season. According to Daniel Storey, chief football writer for the i, City’s success can be attributed to their vast experience and ‘muscle memory’ of winning big games and competitions.
Storey praises City for their preparation, discipline, and ability to perform under pressure, highlighting their confidence and belief in their own capabilities. He emphasizes that City’s success is not just about taking it one game at a time and staying grounded, but also about leveraging their past experiences to fuel their performances in crucial moments.
The team’s understanding of what it takes to win in high-pressure situations and their ability to execute their game plan effectively have been key factors in their recent success. As they continue their pursuit of multiple trophies this season, City will draw on their past successes and experience to drive them forward. Their ‘muscle memory’ of how to win in big games will play a crucial role as they look to add more silverware to their collection.
