RODRI & CITY CHASING HISTORY

- BY STEVE BATES

RODRI has revealed that the chance to create history is what’s driving Manchester City’s marauding Band of Brothers to the Premier League finish line.

Pep Guardiola’s stars arrive at Nottingham Forest today seeking to become the first team ever to win four English League titles in a row.

Last season, City matched Manchester United’s three titles on the trot, achieved during Sir Alex Ferguson’s golden Old Trafford era.

Rodri said: “It would be history. No team has won four Premier League titles in a row and we want to be the first.

“We need to keep those blue ribbons on the trophy, and we’ll do everything from now until the end of the season to do that.

“We already have two trophies this season, and we want to add to that with another two.

“If we can finish the season with four, then that will be another special achievemen­t. It’s going to be a challenge and we need to keep working hard, but we’re ready. It gets harder every year and now three incredible teams are all fighting for the same goal at the end of this season. “So we have to use our experience to win it again. We are proud of the Treble last season, the four Premier League titles in five years, the Super Cup and the Club World Cup this season, but we want more. “The feeling of lifting a trophy with our fans is something special and you want that again and again. “We are creating a legacy and we always want that taste of success.” The Netflix documentar­y charting City’s journey to the Treble last season is titled Together. Spain midfielder Rodri said: “That is what we are. All of my team-mates, the coaches, staff behind the scenes – we are all together and fighting for the same goals. “My team-mates are incredible and what we continue to do each season makes me really proud. “We all have the mentality to fight for everything, to win every game and that will never stop.”
