The rest? I don\u2019t think they can.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I watched nearly all of City\u2019s games in the Champions League last season, I couldn\u2019t win it when I was there, but I\u2019m so happy for the club that they were finally able to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They deserve it. The club deserves it, the supporters deserve to win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup \u2013 the Treble.
