If City defeats Inter Milan in the Champions League final, they will win the triple crown.
In the Champions League final, Ruben Dias is optimistic that Manchester City will prosper under pressure.
The City defender is certain that his teammates will rise to the occasion when they take on Inter Milan on Saturday in Istanbul.
After an incredible late-season surge, City already won the domestic double and are now one victory away from becoming the first team to win the European championship.
"We love the pressure, we love it," Dias remarked. You'll sprint more quickly, jump higher, and be more attentive under pressure.
"We must embrace that because it is what these kinds of games require. We take pleasure in the occasion and never fail to appreciate what it means to our club, the supporters, and our families.
City found their form in the spring after a patchy period either side of the World Cup, reeling in Arsenal at the top of the Premier League and retaining their title.
After dramatic victory over Bayern Munich and the league champion Real Madrid, they proceeded to advance to the Champions League final.
As a result of their FA Cup victory against rivals Manchester United last weekend, the tide appears to be very much in their favor.
I've been saying this for a while, but the sweet spot is when decisions are made around February, according to Dias.
When you first enter one of these stages, you can tell a lot about a team by whether they desire to advance or start running away.
Since then, we have consistently shown up, and tomorrow won't be any different. Another opportunity presents itself for us to rise to the challenge.
