David Beckham aims cheeky dig at Man City when asked about them replicating Man United treble
David Beckham claims that Manchester City will never be capable of replicating Manchester United’s treble victory because United will always be recognized as the pioneers who accomplished this remarkable feat.
After Manchester City’s 2-1 triumph over United in the FA Cup final, they now have the opportunity to achieve their own treble if they emerge victorious against Inter Milan in the upcoming Champions League final in Istanbul.
However, it’s worth noting that no team has managed to achieve this feat in the 24 years since United’s historic triumph.
Before the match between Manchester United and Manchester City at Wembley, David Beckham, alongside other club legends, was present at the stadium. The FA’s media team approached him for his opinion on the possibility of City emulating the treble victory he had accomplished nearly 25 years ago.
“We’re all divided in our opinions of that,” Beckham said. “I said to Noel [Gallagher] the other day even if you guys [City] go on to win the trophy today and the Champions League and they do do the treble, obviously that’s a special thing for any club to do.
“But there’s only one club that can ever win the first time – and we were that club. So in all honesty, as a United fan, if these guys get to win the treble, that feeling as a player of lifting all three trophies and creating history, that was an amazing thing.
“We were all hometown players that had lived and breathed United all the way through and then to win the treble, the way we won it, and also for the first time, can never be done again.
“But that moment of lifting all three trophies and doing the treble, you always want others to feel that. So if these guys get to do that then it’s an amazing moment for them but there’s only one team that’s won for the first time.”
