Winning the English Championship, the two national cups and the Champions League in the same year is the crazy challenge that Liverpool are pursuing, in search of their 10th final of the European queen event, Tuesday (9:00 p.m.) in half -final return to Villarreal (first leg: 2-0).
The English League Cup is already in your pocket, as is the ticket for the FA Cup final once morest Chelsea on May 14. With a small point behind Manchester City 4 days from the end and a favorable waiver in C1, never has an English team been so close to the goal.
Liverpool might wipe out the league-FAC-Champions League treble of historic rival Manchester United in 1999.
The references of Barça and Bayern
Jürgen Klopp might thus exceed the legendary first season of Pep Guardiola at the head of Barça, in 2008-2009, where the Catalans had rolled on the football planet (6 trophies in one year) with the famous “tiki-taka” inherited from the precepts by Johan Cruyff.
The Bayern of the 2019-2020 season is another reference, since it had won the hat-trick at the end of the season, then a total of 6 trophies in one year: German Championship and Cup, Champions League, German Supercups and UEFA, and the Club World Cup.
Unai Emery, the Villarreal strategist, has agreed that his side, beaten 2-0 at Anfield Road, will have to “make a perfect match“to shake up the”best team in the worldand reach the Champions League final.
