Pep Guardiola has defended Manchester City's trophyless season by saying they are only one of three English teams that could play in the Champions League next term to have claimed silverware.
City edged past rivals Manchester United on penalties in the Community Shield last August but have since endured a miserable campaign, relinquishing their four-year hold on the Premier League trophy and being knocked out early in the Champions League.
On Saturday, their season suffered another low as they were stunned by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
It means for the first time in eight years, City will end a campaign without a major trophy but the Catalan referenced the Community Shield when discussing the only remaining target for them - Champions League qualification.
