Pep Guardiola was straight on a plane to Barcelona on Sunday. And he will recharge at Abu Dhabi’s five-star Emirates Palace over the international break.
The settings are designed for those without a care in the world but Manchester City’s manager already has his mind cast towards 10 days in mid-April that has so often seen seasons of such historic promise disintegrate.
Bayern Munich at home. Leicester City at home. Bayern Munich away. Sheffield United at Wembley. Guardiola has lost four FA Cup semi-finals from five; his team for that particular game is usually much-changed, a date that is normally on the back of a European quarter-final.
A selection of players who he picks to run out at Wembley are out of favour with points to prove and for whatever reason have rarely grasped the opportunity.
He will hope that this time is different after thrashing Burnley. The season could go two ways: it could yet result in a treble or nothing at all.
