Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has downplayed his side’s chances of winning the quadruple this season, brandishing it as “unlikely”. It comes after the German coach booked his side into the final of the FA Cup with victory over Manchester City on Saturday.
A whirlwind first-half saw the Merseyside club race into a three-goal lead before Pep Guardiola’s men pulled two goals back, but it wasn’t enough to keep their hopes alive. Liverpool will now face one of Chelsea or Crystal Palace, who play out the second semi-final on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues are looking to make a challenge for their only feasible piece of silverware remaining, having been knocked out of the Champions League and the Premier League seemingly out of their grasp. Overcoming the Eagles will be no small task for Thomas Tuchel though, who said as much in his pre-match press conference.
