Ruben Dias' spine-tingling speech to the Manchester City dressing room even had Pep Guardiola in awe.

Manchester City are just two wins away from a historic treble, having already won the Premier League with three games to spare.

Arsenal's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday sealed their destiny, with the Gunners now mathematically unable to catch Pep Guardiola's side.

The Sky Blues will now have the chance to celebrate the title against Chelsea at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon.

In the meantime, they brushed aside European giants Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final clash midweek, setting up an intriguing final against Inter Milan.

While they will face local rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final on June 3, with more silverware up for grabs.

However, rewind a few months and City were struggling to keep pace with Arsenal in the league table, inspiring a spine-tingling speech from centre-back Dias, which even had his manager hooked.

City posted a montage video on Twitter showing a series of speeches from club captain Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri and Dias which had been filmed from earlier in the season.

However, it was Dias' words which truly stood out to fans, and seemingly his manager.

Speaking to the team in the dressing room while City were chasing Arsenal, Dias said: "I think we are forgetting the most important thing. We are forgetting about focusing just on ourselves.

"Show ourselves out there how much we want to win it again.

"And the best thing we have is that now we've done it, and they think 'oh they're tired', and we want to do it again.

"And that's when we get big."

As the camera panned to Guardiola, the Spaniard was spotted wide-eyed, hanging on the 26-year-old's every word.

Supporters were also left struck by Dias' speech, believing he should be handed the captain's armband next season.

Replying to the video on Twitter, one user wrote: "Goosebumps. Give him the armband right now."

Another added: "There's a man that will lift trophies."

A third wrote: "Nah he's actually him."
