Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea will not be able to win the quadruple this season.
The West London club have a very good chance of winning four competitions after making it to the last four of the Capital One Cup earlier this week. In the Premier League, they are on top of the table are one of the firm favourites to win it this season.
Chelsea qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain and the FA Cup is still a chance for the Blues to win it this season. However, the former Reds defender says winning four competitions may never be done.
“I don’t think so, it will be very difficult. There was talk of them going unbeaten and that went and I would imagine sooner or later they will lose a game in a cup competition. That is normal for any team really,” Carragher told Sky Sports.
“They are the best side in the country and one of the top sides in Europe, but no team in England has ever won the quadruple. United did the treble in 1999 but I’m not sure winning all four will ever be done. It’s very difficult.”
“I am sure Jose Mourinho would be happy if he got a couple of trophies this season.”
“You would have to pick the first one up really, maybe February or March and the Capital One Cup, and then see if you are still in a decent place in the league, the Champions League and FA Cup.
“In terms of cup competitions, you can lose at any time, you can lose in the final, but you have to win the first one and see how you are going in the others. It’s obvious they want to get that first one, you could see that by the team they put out at Derby – it was a very strong side – so it’s clear he wants to win that trophy,” he said.
