Liverpool would be best team in English history if they win quadruple, asserts Rio Ferdinand

The English giants faced Villarreal in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday and came out unscathed as they claimed a 2-0 victory over the Spanish side. Liverpool will hope to stake their place in the finals when they travel to Spain for the second leg as they look to retain their advantage after the tie is played out.

The English side is neck and neck with Manchester City in a heated title race in the league with the Merseyside club just one point behind with six games to go and have already booked their place in the FA Cup final in May after overcoming City in the semifinals of the competition.

"This is the best Liverpool team I’ve ever seen. They’re relentless with and without the ball. It’s the way they press teams, the energy, effort, and application, you marvel at it. That [the quadruple] has got to be the aim. They are going to set themselves the target. If they achieve it they’re immortal, they are above anyone that has played the game in this country. Whether they can achieve it remains to be seen. But they’re ticking boxes along the way at the moment,”  Ferdinand told BT Sport.
