Liverpool won the first leg 2-0 at Anfield last week, however, the Spanish side put up a brilliant fightback to level the score in the first half of the second leg.

The 2000-01 season was the last time Liverpool played every possible match in all competitions. Back then they won three trophies – League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup. In the Premier League, they had finished third and this incredible feat was achieved under Gerard Houllier. 21 years later, the current Liverpool side have repeated this milestone.
Although to make one thing clear, the 63 matches Liverpool will end up playing this campaign will not be the most number of matches in a single season for the Reds. In the 1983-84 season, Liverpool played 67 games and won three trophies in the process. Now, Jurgen Klopp can help them do one better. With the Reds sitting second in the league table and only one point behind leaders Manchester City, their quadruple quest is very much alive.
Considering the form of Liverpool and their hunger to succeed, nothing is impossible for them at the moment. Having a manager of Klopp’s stature allows them to keep aiming high and never settle for anything less than the victory. They do have a difficult path ahead in the remaining weeks of the season, but their quest to reach invincibility is very much alive.
