Following a dramatic 3-2 loss to Tottenham in February, Guardiola’s Manchester City were to find themselves stumbling yet again as they were held to a 0-0 draw at the Selhurst Park.
With the draw coming just after City’s reassuring 4-1 win against intracity rivals Manchester United, fans were left stunned as Liverpool were within City’s definite reach for the first time since December.
Failing to beat Viera’s men once more this season, this draw meant that Liverpool would be a point adrift of Man City should they win all their matches. Going up against mid table clubs mostly, Liverpool would make certain that they are hot on City’s heels, setting the two up for a title-deciding match in April.
Subsequent to their league cup win towards the end of February, Liverpool’s 100% record in the league meant that not only do they stand a chance of snatching the league title from City’s reach, but they could do what no English club has ever done. Win a quadruple.
Following their 1-0 loss to Inter Milan at home, Liverpool would then go through on aggregate and on to face Portuguese outfit Benfica in the quarterfinals.
As unrealistic as it sounds, are Liverpool’s quadruple aspirations still possible, or are they dreaming on?
