Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp plays down talk of quadruple after reaching FA Cup final
- ‘I think a game like today shows it even more how unlikely it is to do something like that,’ Klopp says after 3-2 win over Manchester City at Wembley
- City boss Pep Guardiola defends goalkeeper Zack Steffen after mistake – ‘it was an accident, but we need him to try because that’s how we play’
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp played down his team’s chances of winning an unprecedented quadruple this season even as they defeated Manchester City to reach the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Liverpool hung on to win 3-2 against City and will meet the winners of Sunday’s other semi-final between Chelsea and Crystal Palace in the May 14 final.
The Merseyside club won the League Cup in February and are second in the Premier League, having also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League to remain on track for a haul of four trophies this season.
“I think a game like today shows it even more how unlikely it is to do something like that,” Klopp told reporters when asked about their quadruple hopes.
“We went through against City … and in three days we play again against Manchester United, who with their three points and the results from Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, the fight for the Champions League is open for all of the three.”
