is forget when you're talking about kind of trophies and things that City have already won the first domestic trophy, the League Cup win over Aston Villa back in March, you know, two games before everything sort of crashed and stopped.
They're determined to win the FA Cup again.
They play Newcastle, I think, in a couple of weeks' time.
But I think it's the Champions League.
You speak to any Manchester City fan and people behind the scenes, they want to cause you away for a real problem.
They want, you know, to provide a stone in their shoe, if you like, by winning the Champions League, perhaps potentially going into a season where
they won't even be playing in the competition that they've won.
I think you're absolutely right with that.
And I think momentum becomes important.
I think Pep Guardiola wants that momentum back.
He wants them playing well.
He wants them, you know,
getting back into some sort of form in the Premier League so they can go and win the FA Cup, so they can go and win the Champions League in August.
And I think for him, although the games are compressed, there's a lot of them in the Premier League, it is just purely domestic with FA Cup.
I mean, look at August for being a Champions League.
So it's not quite as compressed as perhaps even he's used to.
He's got Amirik Laporte back fit.
He's got Leroy Sane back fit.
He has a full squad to choose from for the first time this season.
And these are pretty key things as well.
