Manchester City will be eager to complete a treble by winning the UEFA Champions League final against Chelsea FC at the Estadio Do Dragao on May 29. 
 
The Citizens have clinched this season's English Premier League title and English League Cup which is also known as the Carabao Cup.
 
They are looking to end a successful campaign with a Champions League title triumph and emulate their rivals Manchester United, who clinched a treble in the 1998/99 season.
 
City will be banking on their great form in this season's Champions League as they are undefeated in the competition.

Their only draw in the competition came against former Portuguese champions FC Porto in a group stage match in December 2020.

Since then the newly crowned English champions have won seven matches in a row in the Champions League which earned them a spot in the final.

Pep Guardiola, the City manager, is pleased to have guided his side to the final after masterminding a 4-1 aggregate win over French giants Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in the semi-finals. 
 
"It is for all of us and the club. I'm incredibly proud. To win 4-1 on aggregate against a team that beat Barcelona and Bayern means a lot to us," Guardiola said.
 
"We fought together and we're in the final of the Champions League and those are nice words. People believe it's easy to arrive in the final of the Champions League.
 
"Getting to the final now makes sense of what we have done in the past four or five years. Every day these guys have been consistent and this is remarkable."
 
The last competitive meeting between City and Chelsea was on 8 May 2021.
 
The game ended in a 2-1 win in favour of Chelsea in a Premier League match which took place at the Etihad Stadium.
