Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool are not thinking about winning the quadruple.
Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City could see Klopp’s side take a step closer to the unprecedented feat of winning four trophies in a season.
The Reds have already claimed the Carabao Cup and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League while pushing City in the Premier League title race.
A potential win for the Anfield club at Wembley would also kill off the reigning league champions’ own bid to end the campaign with a hat-trick of silverware.
But Klopp is adamant his team have not even considered the possibility of what victory at the national stadium could mean for a potential clean sweep.
He said: “We don’t think about the quadruple.
“Imagine if I would sit here, you would not ask me about it but I would just constantly refer to the quadruple and when we have a chance to do that, you would think I was completely mad
“We are not short of confidence or whatever. We don’t need another reason that we to want to be successful.
“Yes, winning against City would be outstanding. It doesn’t happen too often to anybody in the world of football so if you can achieve it, outstanding. But they are crazy good.
“There’s not one percentage [thinking] that if we win, we are a step closer to whatever you want to call it.
“That means we are in the final of the FA Cup which would then mean we play either Crystal Palace or Chelsea. None of them are ‘tourists’ or whatever.
“They would go there and want ot win it as well. We don’t think a second until after the game. We just prepare the game.
“If you tell me during the game that it’s the FA Cup or whatever, I realise in the moment when there’s a penalty shootout and (think) ‘oh my god’. That’s all.
“You just go for it and try to do the right stuff on the pitch. We have no further or bigger picture. That’s not how it is.”
The Liverpool manager recently admitted it would be ‘interesting’ to reminisce with Pep Guardiola about their battles once the pair had finished coaching.
But Klopp revealed that he has never shared a beer with his City counterpart ahead of their 24th meeting in all competitions stretching back to 2013.
“Us Europeans, we are just not used to it,” he added.
“We have the room (after games) and we do it, I love to do that [with Pep] but I would never ask ‘see you after?’ because I think the players wait already for an hour in the bus for me so I would not go for a drink. That’s the honest answer.
“With Pep, we never had a beer in a situation afterwards. Our relationship is good [but] he’s right, we are not friends. How can you be friends? We never meet.
“We have the number before some personal issues, shared a few messages there but we don’t call each other.
“I know 100% if we meet in the future we would definitely sit down so that’s actually a nice thing to think about because why shouldn’t we? There’s no reason.
“We never had a real issue. He’s matched me more often than I wish and we could win against his team from time to time. That’s all.
“If there’s something to talk about, there would be something to talk about and for sure that would be nice, but that’s all.”
