Not surprisingly, talk of the quadruple has also subsided but Manuel Pellegrini insists the players will not be badly affected as they host Stoke in the Barclays Premier League this weekend.
Manuel Pellegrini: "They are absolutely clear in their minds that we are fighting for the Premier League.
"I don't think there will be a psychological link between one competition and the other."
One other issue affecting City this week is the scheduling of their FA Cup quarter-final against Wigan for Sunday, March 9, just three days before the game in Barcelona.
It has been reported as a hindrance to City but Pellegrini has another point of view.
Manuel Pellegrini: "Maybe it's better for us to play on Saturday, but also the international players will only arrive on Thursday after they play for they national team, and that's not good.
"So everything has both sides. We don't have any problem for Sunday."
Pellegrini also confirmed that top scorer Sergio Aguero is due to return to full training next week after four games out with a hamstring injury.
