Toure targets Treble

Toure targets Treble
Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure believes Barcelona can win a memorable Treble this season.

The Ivory Coast international was a member of the Barca side which hammered Bayern Munich 4-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday to set the critics purring.

And with Pep Guardiola's Barca holding a six-point lead in La Liga ahead May's Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao, Toure is confident.

"It will not be easy. It will be very difficult as there is respect for our opponents," Toure told Sky Sports News . "But I think it is possible."

However, Toure has dismissed suggestions that Barca are currently the best side in Europe.

The 25-year-old believes Premier League and Champions League title holders Manchester United are the side to beat on the continent.

"A lot of people have said this but, for me, it is not right," added Toure when asked if Barca were the best side in Europe.

"The best team wins something, like Manchester United. For me, the best team in Europe is Manchester United because they win things.

"They have very good players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Scholes and (Wayne) Rooney."
