John Stones is adamant that Manchester City won't back off as they pursue the treble.
As they clinched the Premier League championship over the weekend, City won the first of three trophies they may win in the upcoming weeks.
They are now focused on the FA Cup final on June 3 against Manchester United and the Champions League final against Inter Milan the following week in Istanbul.
Five-time Premier League champion Stones, a defender, said: "We're back in training on Monday and we'll take it from there. We must maintain the beat.
"The hunger is there, and we know what's ahead of us now, that we can try and make some more history."
The Premier League trophy was awarded to City after they defeated Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium by a score of 1-0 on Sunday thanks to a goal by Julian Alvarez.
The previous evening, second-placed Arsenal's defeat to Nottingham Forest solidified their title victory—their third in a row and fifth in six seasons.
Last month, City trailed the Gunners by eight points, but they have since caught up to their biggest rivals thanks to a run of 12 straight victories.
"I don't think I had time to doubt what we can do," Stones remarked. I believe it was simply concentrating on what lay ahead of us and winning.
"We've carried it out so frequently. We recently started this run, and it's amazing to see the caliber of our team.
"I've been here for about seven years, and we just keep getting better thanks to the players, the squad, and the improvement we have.
"I think the titles we've won speak for themselves."
Stones has been a crucial contributor for City during their successful run this spring, playing a hybrid defense-midfield position.
When opponents have been attacking, the England international has played on the back line at either center or right back, but when City have had the ball, he has moved into midfield.
