Liverpool told they can go one better than Man City’s historic treble this season – but not everyone agrees

Liverpool's potential quadruple haul from this season could pip Manchester City's historic treble from last campaign.

That is according to ex-Chelsea defender and talkSPORT co-host Jason Cundy, who believes it could be a better achievement despite the Reds playing Europa League football.

A fifth-placed finish last term saw the Merseyside outfit miss out on playing in the Champions League, resulting in them competing in Europe's second-tier tournament.

But the Premier League leaders are the favourites to win the competition for the first time since their 2001 treble season.

That campaign also saw them lift the League Cup - where they are in the final this season - as well as the FA Cup, with Jurgen Klopp's men to face Norwich in the fourth round.

Speaking on The Sports Bar, Cundy was asked by co-host Jamie O'Hara whether winning the quadruple would be better than City's treble, which included the Champions League.

To which Cundy said: "It's close, isn't it? It'll be interesting to ask Liverpool fans.

"If they were in the Champions League this season, they would be one of the favourites to win that.

"[On quad] It's never been done, I'd almost say yes, to win four?

"Look, the Champions League is the pinnacle of European football, we know that, but they can't win it this year as they're not in it.

"They could win all four, they seriously could go very, very close this season in winning all four."

Reacting to Cundy's view, fans have argued that without the Champions League, an extra trophy still wouldn't pip City's or Manchester United's achievement from 1999.

Commenting on Cundy's claim, one YouTube user messaged: "I think it's on par, but defo not better, I'm a Red as well."

Another posted: "It won’t be as good, but still an amazing season. But you have to have the Champions League in it to make it better than City’s or Manchester United's treble."

Referencing City's FFP charges, this Liverpool fan quipped: "I’m a LFC supporter, NO it’s not better than City's treble, BUT… we haven’t got 115 charges hanging over our head either."

A fourth commented: "Its not better than the UCL treble. But it's unique. No one has done it. That would be pretty cool."
