At the end, if you give us one point, we will win the last seven, eight games even though it\u2019s so tough. So I think that shows our mentality.\u201d<br \/>\nCity have a chance to win another trophy this season as they face Manchester United in the FA Cup final next weekend. \u201cIt\u2019s also so important for us to do the double,\u201d Rodri added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City won the Premier League title, overtaking Arsenal by two points.
