Only two English sides have ever managed to win the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League all in one season, and they both hail from Manchester.
The most recent of those, City, did it in 2022/23 with the help of winger Jack Grealish, who played a pivotal role in the club's unprecedented campaign.
The Birmingham native, however, feels that winning the 2024 UEFA European Championship would be a greater achievement than his latest success with City.
"I don't mean this to sound weird, but it is difficult in a way because you have such a high of winning the treble and then you do think: 'What would ever top that?'" the 28-year-old said, as per ESPN.
"Obviously doing something at international level definitely would. But then even at club level you think 'What would top it?' Maybe to win all four, including the Carabao Cup, but we went out of that last week.
"You probably think about doing an 'Invincible' season, but we got beat.
"To do what we did last year again would be unbelievable and to do something at international level with this group of players would be unbelievable."
