"We have four games left, City as well have four games left in which they can drop points. We just need to focus on the Spurs game and go from there.
"We've been together for five years, we know what it takes to win. In the last game we were 2-0 down, away, and we managed to come back. That's really important for our mindset, for the next games. We have the mindset we can win any trophy."
