Liverpool's road to the quadruple after Carabao Cup triumph

One down, three to go. That was the mantra echoing around the Liverpool dressing-room and amongst their fanbase after their dramatic Carabao Cup triumph against Chelsea at Wembley. 

Still fighting on three more fronts as we enter March, Jurgen Klopp's side are now eyeing the unthinkable after the penalty shootout victory: a historic quadruple, something no English team has ever managed.

Manchester United came close in 1999, with a unprecedented Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble, but were knocked out of the quarter-finals of the League Cup. Neighbours City have also had moments in recent years when all four trophies seemed attainable, and they sealed their own historic domestic treble in 2019.

Yet there's a reason why the quadruple has never been done before. More competitions means more games, less days off and a squad stretched to the limit.

Klopp, though, insists the journey could be something special: 'This is the start. We are not silly. You need luck. We have to survive, work hard and, we have to play on Wednesday again, which I cannot believe at this moment. 

'Anfield will be rocking because of this result and hopefully we can deliver a game to enjoy.'

As Klopp admits, there is no time for over-the-top
