Pellegrini warns 'one trophy not enough'

City won the season’s first trophy through second-half goals from Yaya Touré, Samir Nasri and Jesús Navas, after Fabio Borini’s 10th-minute opener. Asked if the campaign would be a success if the club ended with only the one cup, Pellegrini said: “We will evaluate the season when the season ends in May. We won today just one trophy but nobody can think that’s enough. Why? I don’t think top players or an important group can be satisfied with one trophy.”

With City next to play Wigan Athletic in Sunday’s FA Cup sixth-round tie, and in a position to make up the six points on Chelsea with two games in hand in the title race, the Chilean’s side have a chance to do what no club have ever managed and win all three domestic trophies. Pellegrini said: “We are going to try. It’s not easy. We have respect for Wigan. We know what happened with Wigan last year. We are going to try to do it, of course.”
