City are still on course to replicate last season's achievement of winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League and Silva is determined to repeat the feat for the sake of the team's "legacy".

Speaking ahead of Wednesday's (17.04.24) Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid, he said: "We want to create the legacy. We want two Trebles in a row.

"We want four Premier Leagues in a row. We want the Champions League twice in a row. If we win two Trebles in a row that would be legacy.

"[But] in one week we could be out of all the competitions. But we are fighting."

City haven't always been at their thrilling best at times this season and Silva admits that there has been something of a "hangover" from the success of last term.

The midfielder said: "To have that hunger to again go is not easy. It's a mix of having a lot of players injured, having new players and those that have left. New players have to adapt which is not easy.

"Our feeling inside is to fight as much as we could. We have to fight. We can fight for all three competitions."

City could make football history by being the first team to win two Trebles in a row but coach Pep Guardiola says it is only a "hypothetical dream" at present.

He said: "I am not going to say 'don't feel this' to my players, but I have a different opinion. We are far away from those hypothetical dreams.

"When we are in the final of the FA Cup and two or three games in the Premier League and in the final of the Champions League I will start to think about that."
