Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte is determined to turn his dream into reality and get his hands on the Premier League trophy on Sunday.
The French defender has pictured himself holding aloft the title following Sunday's conclusion to what has been one of the most thrilling Premier League title races in history.
City are in the driving seat to retain the title they won by a landslide last season but the margins are much more slim on Sunday with Liverpool trailing by just one point.
Victory for Pep Guardiola's team at the Amex Stadium against Brighton & Hove Albion will see City become the first English team to retain the Premier League crown since Manchester United in 2009, regardless of Liverpool's result at home to Wolves.
City have won their last 13 games and accrued 95 points, but they still need one last push to finally see off the challenge of Jurgen Klopp's Champions League finalists.
Laporte said: "Personally, I think the most important thought is to visualise myself with the trophy in my hands. That has been my motivation and something to look forward to.
"When the last game is approaching, I have that thought in my mind, the vision that, if we win this game, we can become champions again and lift another Premier League trophy.
"Now, [it is] in our hands we think about not making any mistakes in this last run."
City have shown their champion quality to win their last four games - against Tottenham, Manchester United, Burnley and Leicester City - without conceding a goal amid intense pressure.
The task now is to maintain that focus without worrying about what might be happening at Anfield, where Liverpool will simultaneously be playing Wolves in their last fixture as they chase a first English top-flight title in 29 years.
City manager Pep Guardiola said: "It's better to focus on what we have to do. If we win we don't have to look at anything else. Why should you be distracted by other situations?"
Brighton have little to play for other than pride after securing their top-flight status for another season.
But the Seagulls did frustrate City for large spells in last month's FA Cup semi-final and they claimed a draw against Arsenal last week, so Guardiola is taking nothing for granted.
He said: "It would be nice to score and early but maybe it's not going to happen. We've analysed Brighton and know how well they defend. It will be difficult.
"If they play like they did recently, so defensively, using set-pieces, long balls, the counter-attack with [Anthony] Knockaert, [Solly] March and the build-up with the two central defenders - they are so good.
"But maybe at home in the last game they will decide to go more forward. We have talked about what we can expect and how we handle both situations."
