Manchester City is preparing for a pivotal Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, with the tie currently tied at 3-3. Alongside their European campaign, City holds the top spot in the Premier League and will face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals over the weekend.
If City can 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 extensive experience and ‘muscle memory’ of winning big games and competitions.
Storey commends City for their meticulous preparation, unwavering discipline, and ability to perform under pressure. He emphasizes that their success goes beyond simply taking it one game at a time and staying focused; it also involves leveraging their past experiences to fuel their performances in critical moments.
The team’s understanding of what it takes to succeed in high-pressure situations and their ability to execute their game plan effectively have been instrumental factors in their recent success. As they continue their quest for multiple trophies this season, City will rely on their past triumphs and expertise to propel them forward. Their ‘muscle memory’ of how to win in high-stakes games will play a vital role as they aim to add more silverware to their collection.
