Guardiola claims quadruple 'almost impossible'

LONDON - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insisted completing a quadruple of trophies is still "almost impossible" for the English champion despite progressing to the FA Cup final with a 1-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.

An early goal from Gabriel Jesus was enough as City failed to hit top gear against the Seagulls, but still stretched an incredible run to 22 wins in 23 games.

Guardiola's men will return to Wembley for the final on May 18 for what they hope will be the chance to clinch the first ever domestic treble in English soccer history.
