Manchester City striker Erling Haaland said he would “do everything” to help the club achieve a historic treble.
City won the Premier League this season and could add to that if they beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday and Inter Milan in the Champions League final on June 10.
United won both of those titles in 1999 and are the only English club to achieve such a treble.
“It would be unrealistic to make this history,” said Haaland, 22.
Despite City’s domestic dominance, they are yet to win the Champions League and Haaland hopes he will be the missing piece to ensure success in European football’s biggest tournament.
“That’s why they bought me, of course, to have this, we don’t have to hide it,” Haaland told BBC Sports editor Dan Rowan.
“It would mean everything. I will do everything I can to try and make it happen. It is my biggest dream and I hope dreams come true.”
He added: “But it’s not easy – it’s two finals against two good teams who are going to do everything they can to try and destroy that.
“They will be motivated, they will be ready and we have to play at our best, because if we play at our best we have a really good chance of doing exactly that.”
City outperformed Arsenal this season to win the Premier League title for the third time in a row under coach Pep Guardiola.
“We’ve been chasing the whole season, so when we won the Premier League it was a huge relief,” said Haaland, who has scored 36 league goals this season.
“Now we have two finals left and now the only thing we can focus on are those two finals before the holidays.”
“I’m 196cm tall and have long blonde hair – people will see me”
Haaland has had a stunning first season in English football since joining City from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
He broke the Premier League record for most goals in a season with his tally, and overall, he scored 52 goals during the season.
The Norway international was named the Football Writers Association (FWA) Men’s Footballer of the Year and is the first player to win the Premier League’s Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards in the same season.
Haaland’s exploits have made him one of the most popular players in the game and he says his way of dealing with fame is to embrace it.
“It’s a beautiful thing, it means I did something right,” Haaland said.
“Of course my life has changed, I can’t live normally anymore. That’s how my life is, I can’t complain.
“I try to enjoy every moment of it and that’s it.
“I’m 196 cm tall and have long blonde hair, so wherever I go people will see me. This is my life. What can I do?”
“There’s nothing I can do, this is my life. I just have to try to enjoy it as much as I can. Try to relax when I’m home with good people around me, that’s really important. Just try to enjoy my life.”
Haaland believes he has improved “a lot” this season, but he can improve “from my right foot to my left foot to my head, from extra play – everything”.
“I’ve been developing in a really positive way and that’s really important to me because I’m still really young,” he said.
“I’m 22, I have a long career ahead of me and I still need to develop. This is also something I’ve been thinking about for over a year when I was considering my next move.”
Haaland knows Manchester United will be “excited” that they will not only want to beat their domestic rivals to increase their Carabao Cup success this season, but also prevent City from matching the treble.
“It will not be an easy match,” Haaland said. “We have to play our game. We have to not think too much, we have to focus on ourselves and we have to play the game we have to play.
“Eventually we’ll see. It’s a 90-minute football game and the people who perform the best in these matches can win.”
