Even with 0-0 on the scoreboard a few minutes into the second half in front of the packed Anfield, you could put your entire house on Liverpool’s eventual victory against Villareal. And it was not a result of a fact we were witnessing – as our reporter reasonably concluded – the battle between David and Goliath.Reds’ blazing second half sinks the Yellow SubmarineIt could have been even Chelsea or Manchester City on the opposite side, and it would stay the same – Jurgen Klopp’s side seems capable of going all the way. In every single competition they’re involved. And our quick fact check says the Reds have already won League Cup and are still in contention for the FA Cup title (in the finals against Chelsea), the EPL crown (the neck on neck with City on the summit), and the UCL trophy (2-0 after the first leg seems sufficient to reach the showdown in Paris).Splashing, init.##EDITORS_CHOICE##There was a moment in time, probably around late March, when first glimpses of that awkward word ‘Quadruple’ started emerging in the articles regarding the Scousers. The synonym for four titles in a single season not only sounded weird but seemed both inappropriate and pretentious when it comes to Liverpool. Fast forward to late April, and in hindsight, there was nothing pretentious after all in the almost logical conclusion this Anfield outfit is capable of reaching unprecedented heights.VVD thinks reaching a quadruple is impossible. Ok, almost impossible…Liverpool’s team hasn’t got a single weak spot – unlike mighty Real Madrid, for instance, whose defensive line is atrocious compared to their star striker Karim Benzema. In Klopp’s lineup, there are no such gaps nor red flags which could detonate and ruin the entire strategy in one of those vital games.To continue the quadruple pursuit, the Scousers firstly ought to fight the Eagles at the Stadium of LightMoreover, the Reds are anything but bloodhound dogs of City’s ilk, which hunt you for 90 minutes until they completely dismantle you. No, that’s not what the German tactician demands from his boys – a three-minute perfect storm, like the one against Villareal on Wednesday night – is more than enough. Sustainable, yet flawless and powerful. That’s the machine Jurgen created near the docks of Liverpool with a bunch of hardworking gentlemen gathered from all around the world (Africa’s influence is essential, to be honest).”A brilliant match.””We wanted to score the third, but at a certain point in the match it makes sense to control the game.”Jurgen Klopp was satisfied with his Liverpool team tonight. pic.twitter.com/xx0ezRY0QB— Football España (@footballespana_) April 27, 2022 Still, this (pretentious alert!) Tower of Babel has managed not to crumble under such diversity and is, on the contrary, cartwheeling through the air on its way to Quadruple. The impossible is only a few steps away.
