City became just the second English club to complete a historic treble last season after local rivals Manchester United, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. However, they missed out on the quadruple after suffering a shock 2-0 defeat to Southampton in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. Speaking earlier this month, Foden revealed that the quadruple was City's "aim" this season. He told Sky Sports : "I remember actually speaking to Jack [Grealish] about this. After the Champions League was done, we both looked at each other and thought, 'how are we going to get that high again?' I was almost a bit sad thinking about it. "So we had a little discussion and the only way is to just do it again or do the quadruple. That's the aim now. We have to try and do it again. I know it's nearly impossible because it's such a hard thing to do but the lads are craving that now and want to do it again." However, Guardiola has moved to temper expectations, urging his players to simply take each game as it comes. Asked about Foden's comments ahead of City's third round Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle United, Guardiola replied: "Phil is so young. "He will understand with time. It's nice to have those ambitions but always I said to the players 'ambition is the next game'. So maybe in April, May if you are still in all competitions you can start to think about it but right now at the end of September to think about titles is a big mistake." Guardiola also admitted the busy schedule will be a huge challenge for City this season, making it difficult to balance the need to train and recover i){kind=link}
