Manchester City are set to close out the season with an FA Cup Final meeting with rivals Manchester United, and could yet be the first side to win back-to-back league and cup doubles.
It would be the latest slice of footballing history for Pep Guardiola's men, having become the first team to win four consecutive league titles in a row last weekend.
However, despite these accolades, Graeme Souness believes the club are still way behind Liverpool and Manchester United.
Speaking on William Hill’s new podcast, Three Up Front, the former Scotland midfielder says that Man City still can't be classed as an iconic team.
“I think as long as the owners are in control, City will be challenging and the team to beat, but the monopoly won’t last forever," he said.
“That’s English football, though, it’s never been the case and I don’t believe it ever will. I would say it’s going to be another 10 years before City become a legacy club.
“You see people across the world wearing a Liverpool shirt or a Manchester United shirt, and I’m sure that’ll happen with City, but I think we’re a decade away from that.
“Just winning the Premier League doesn’t make them an iconic team, they’ve got to be serial winners of the Champions League.”
