silverware

"I'm not exaggerating. Guys, bring your boots, your shorts and T-shirt and let's play every ball together," said Areta, who is eyeing his first major silverware at the club since the FA Cup in 2020.

Factors such as Nottingham Forest having a remarkable season, Crystal Palace being based in London and Aston Villa's buoyant team chasing silverware under Unai Emery can be taken into consideration for those numbers.

The competition is also City's only chance of major silverware this season, apart from the Community Shield, as their run of four straight Premier League titles ended with Liverpool officially crowned champions on Sunday.

The 52-year-old said he had "never been happier" in Glasgow and was committed to delivering more silverware next season.

Emery deserves a bit of silverware to reflect the excellent job he has done but we know football doesn't work like that.
