Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are in prime position to match Sir Alex Ferguson's most outstanding achievements.
As Manchester City host Real Madrid at the Etihad, the Cityzens could keep alive the incredible achievement United enjoyed under the reign of Sir Alex Ferguson.
While City are yet to lift a silverware this season, the English champions stand a decent chance of a treble, a feat only achieved by Ferguson in the famous 1998/99 season.
United won the Treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, widely regarded by fans and writers as Fergie's most significant achievement at the club.

But, to date, the English side has yet to be able to do so.
For this success, Ferguson was knighted and handed the Freedom of the City of Glasgow.
Another top United achievement is winning the English Premier League title in three consecutive seasons.
Only one club has won the title thrice since the Premier League era began in 1992.
The Red Devils completed the first hat-trick of silverware in 2001 when they fended off competition from Arsenal.
Ferguson guided the team again to another hat trick from 2006 to the 2008/09 season.
The English Premier League
Manchester City will be presented with the Premier League trophy this Sunday if they wrap up the title as expected against Chelsea, who have had a dismal performance this season.
Guardiola's men need maximum points to close the title race after Arsenal slumped in the season's final matches.
The FA Cup
Manchester United stand in the way of City's treble dream in the FA Cup final scheduled for June 3 at Wembley.
Champions League
City must negotiate past Real Madrid and defeat Inter Milan in Istanbul in the Championship final.
