Pep Guardiola has urged his Manchester City side to cement their greatness by winning the Champions League following their last success in the FA Cup.
City completed a second domestic double under Guardiola as they held rivals Manchester United 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday.
Ilkay Gündogan scored both goals, including a superb volley after just 12 seconds - the fastest in FA Cup final history - as City proved too strong for their neighbours. their.
However, for all their successes in recent years, including five Premier League titles and four Carabao Cups, Champions League glory has eluded them.
They will have the opportunity to correct their mistakes and win a glorious treble when they face Inter Milan in next week's final in Istanbul. City manager Guardiola said:
"Everybody knows that. We've had incredible seasons - five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, the Carabao Cup, but we have to win the Champions League to be recognized as a team that deserves it. recognize.
"We have to admit that there's no Champions League - that's great, it's exciting - but we're missing [something]. We have to do it.
“We have one more game left. I can say that it is amazing, remarkable that in three years we have had two Champions League finals and a semi-final.
“But in the end we have to win. I know how it works. I said to the players: 'You have to put pressure on yourself. To be recognized as something good, you have to win in Europe."
Before focusing entirely on Inter, City can reflect on another great performance that has won many awards. Things are not all according to their course. United brought them back after Gündogan's quick opener with a Bruno Fernandes penalty after Jack Grealish was deemed controversial for management following a VAR review.

Since then, Guardiola's men have continued to dominate the game and win the club's seventh FA Cup.
Guardiola says:
“It's the best way to start a final. There's still more than 90 minutes to go but it's very important.
“Overall, we played a very good game. We played with a lot of risk because the threat they had up front was huge, especially with [Marcus] Rashford, but we controlled it very well.
"A final against United is always difficult, for many reasons, but the better team won. We were humble enough to accept how good they were and we did." We are really happy.
"Winning the FA Cup, the emotions are special and celebrating with our people is truly amazing."
Gündogan has enjoyed a fine end to the season and can now add a brace to the FA Cup final following the two goals he scored to win the Premier League title in last season's final game. .
The midfielder is out of contract this summer and his most recent superb performance will increase the club's desire to tie him down on new terms.
Guardiola said:
“He knows what I'm thinking. He is one of my neighbours. We lived on the same floor for many years and he was a close friend.
"He is a special player and I hope we can complete his contract [contract negotiations] in a good way. The season he has had has been special. He is very important. important for many reasons.
Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag says Manchester United must capitalize on the pain of defeat to improve and be able to catch up with their dominant neighbours.
