Quadruple still on for City after FA Cup win at Cardiff
LONDON — Even though Pep Guardiola won’t admit it, Manchester City has an increasingly serious chance of completing the quadruple this season.
Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling scored as City advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Championship team Cardiff on Sunday.
It was the second time this week that City had beaten a second-tier opponent. The runaway Premier League leader saw off Bristol City in the semifinals of the League Cup to clinch its first final under Guardiola.
With a commanding 12-point lead in the Premier League and a favourable draw in the form of Swiss side Basel in the Champions League round of 16, every victory from here on will increase talk of an unprecedented quadruple for City.
