He protests to the contrary until he’s red in the face… but there is little doubt Jurgen Klopp is more than dreaming of that mythical quadruple.
And why wouldn’t he? No team in world football has ever come this deep into a season still in contention for the four major trophies, not team has been near it, let alone close enough to put hot breath on the trophies. The Liverpool manager knows his history, he knows there will be no chance like this anytime soon. If ever. For any club. He knows it is legend in the making, even if his team should be denied in the home stretch.
Favourites in the Champions League, joint FA Cup favourites, and a point behind Manchester City in the Premier League. They are 12 games from immortality. Hell, put it like that, and it would be madness not to go “full throttle” a phrase Klopp himself has copyrighted. You could see in his team selection here he knows Liverpool must give everything - risk everything. When history is within touching distance, it is no time to recoil the hand for fear of getting burned.
