Noel Gallagher has backed Manchester City for treble glory this season but says he cannot attend the Champions League final even if Pep Guardiola’s side make it that far.

Man City have one foot in the semi-finals of the Champions League after thumping Bayern Munich 3-0 in the quarter-final first leg at the Etihad Stadium.

Goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland put the Premier League champions in complete control of the tie against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, now coached by former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.

With Manchester City also challenging for the Premier League title and FA Cup trophy, Guardiola’s side could be on the verge of a special and historic campaign.

Man City are six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal but the title is effectively in their own hands as they have a game in hand and face the Gunners later in the month.

Before that crucial league game, Manchester City face Championship side Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-finals. Manchester United take on Brighton in the other last-four clash.

Oasis legend Gallagher says Man City have looked ‘super focused’ in recent weeks and has backed his beloved Sky Blues to win their first European Cup this season and match Man United’s achievements in their famous 1998-99 campaign.

‘It looks like the players have flipped a switch now,’ he said on talkSPORT after Manchester City’s impressive victory over Bayern Munich.

‘And looking in from the outside, it looks like the players have now said about the Champions League, ‘We’re going to go win it this year, this is it”.

‘I’ve noticed, this huddle thing that we go into after we score and before we kick-off, I’ve never seen that before.

‘It looks like a flip has been switched and we’re in trophy mode now, and from watching the games against Southampton and Liverpool, it looks like they are super, super focused now, and it’s real now.’

Asked if he felt Man City could win the treble, Gallagher added: ‘You better believe it! We’ve got Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-final, probably Brighton [who play Man United] in the final if we get there.

‘And then hopefully Chelsea will somehow jam it against Real Madrid and then we’ll annihilate them and play Benfica if they somehow manage to jam it into the final.

‘But in all seriousness though, these are the moments you live for as a football fan, we’ve got potentially 15/16 games left, all finals. This could be it.

‘It’s real, they can do it from here. Because no one has spoken about it for the last four months when usually it’s about the quadruple and all this kind of thing.

‘Now all of a sudden, it’s like, “Oh hang on a minute, we’re still in for this treble here” and actually watching that tonight, I wouldn’t bet against it.’

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul will host the 2023 Champions League final on June 10 but Gallagher will not be in attendance even if Manchester City are involved.

‘Unfortunately when I booked my world tour, I forgot to factor in the flipping World Cup,’ the High Flying Birds frontman said.

‘So when the Champions League final is on, I am going to be in America. I don’t care though! As long as we win it, I’m not bothered about being there. If we win it, I couldn’t care less about being there.’
