Football is a funny game. Why I say so? A couple of months ago Liverpool looked invincible. They were the league leaders in both Premier League as well as the Champions League. In addition to that they were also looking good in the Domestic Cup Tournaments. It seemed that they could achieve the Historic Quadruple- Something which no English Team has ever done before. Unfortunately, a shocking defeat against minnows Plymouth Argyle dashed their F.A. Cup hopes. However, the men in red bounced back from the defeat and got back to winning ways in no time.  A Treble was still very much in the cards. 

The hopes of treble got lifted up when Liverpool edged PSG in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Interestingly this win came in Paris which implies that a draw in the home would have ensured their qualification for the quarterfinals. However, PSG came from behind and knocked Liverpool out from the Champions League. It was a tough game wherein both sides fought hard. At Last, it was the Visitors who got better of Liverpool in the penalty shootout as the Reds failed to get past the PSG keeper.  The Parisians thus silenced the Anfield and marched forward into the competition. 

Unfortunately, another tragedy unfolded before Liverpool in just 3 days' time as they lost the Carabao Cup Final to Newcastle in Wembley. The men in black literally blew away the mighty Liverpool in this must win game. It was indeed a shocking moment for every Liverpool fan as no one gave Newcastle a chance. The Reds were on course of scripting history but are currently reeling with defeats. 

With this defeat in the final the Scousers are now out of 3 of the 4 tournaments. The only place where they are still alive is the Premier League wherein, they are the table toppers. Currently Arsenal which is second in the League are 12 points behind Liverpool. However, they are looking in good touch whereas Liverpool is struggling. So, the question is- Will Liverpool bottle the league? Can Arsenal script a comeback? We will get to know all of this after the International Break. But currently everything is in shambles in Liverpool.
