Liverpool vice-skipper Trent Alexander-Arnold has expressed his ambition of winning the quadruple in Jurgen Klopp’s final season.
The Reds currently lead the Premier League standings with 51 points, maintaining a slim two-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Klopp’s side will have the opportunity to clinch their first title this campaign when they face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final later this month.
Additionally, Liverpool have advanced to the fifth round of the Emirates FA Cup, with a fixture against Southampton at Anfield on the horizon. Furthermore, they have progressed to the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League after finishing at the top of their group.
Speaking in an interview with CNN, Alexander-Arnold emphasised that the team’s mindset is focused on winning every single game, viewing each match as a crucial step toward achieving their ultimate goal.
“Every game is almost like a final now,” the England international told CNN Sports.
“Because a certain other team look like they’re clicking into gear, which means it’s going to go down to the wire as usual, which means every game is a must win, as simple as that.
“That’s the way you want it. You want to get pushed and you want to push yourself as far and as hard as you can and test yourself to the limits.
“Every single game is a must win. Even a draw feels like a loss, no matter the context of it.
“It’s going to come down to consistency and results. It would be nice to say that we’re going to win every game between now and the end of the season, but there’s a good chance that’s not going to happen and we’ve just got to limit the points that we drop.
“We need to put a good run together, which we know we’re capable of doing, and we also need to keep our mentality right, because I’m sure the pressure will be right behind us.”

He added, “Between now and the end of the season, I’m fully focused on winning every single trophy possible.
“My aim is to go and win the quadruple. It’s only a couple of weeks before we get our hands on our first piece of silverware!
“The Carabao Cup is a 50-50 chance. I think, the other competitions are the other competitions. Cup competitions speak for themselves, because it’s knockout football.
“I would back ourselves against any team in the world to go and be able to beat them over one game, or two legs.
“European football, at Anfield, I’d back ourselves to beat any team in Europe. With the FA Cup, I back ourselves to be able to beat any team.
“I believe we’re capable of beating any team in front of us. That’s the mentality you need to have.”
