After becoming the first team to win four Premier League titles, City can become the first team to secure back-to-back domestic doubles if they win this afternoon.

"If history gives us a chance to do something not done before, try it," the Spaniard told reporters on Friday. 

"Maybe it will be extra motivation for the players. I didn't speak about this specifically to the players. Playing for a win, a trophy, is enough.

"No teams have done four [Premier League titles] in a row, none have done back-to-back doubles. That is because it is not easy.

"We are going to London to perform well, same routine, not forgotten, one year defend our crown until next season.

"Saturday we will go for it with all we have. If we lose I want it to be because they were better and not because we weren't who we are.

"The players know it is the last game of the season, the last effort. I have been impressed with how good they have trained this week."
