"For the first time, two English clubs have reached March still in the hunt for the Quadruple - winning the Premier League, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the Champions League. They are the three most prized domestic trophies and Europe's elite title. Arsenal and Manchester City are the clubs capable of winning all four given they are jousting for the Premier League title, still in the FA Cup and Champions League, and meet in the EFL Cup final later this month."
"Winning all four has been done before. Scottish giants Celtic swept all before them in 1966-67, culminating in a European Cup win over Inter Milan, and with a squad born within 30 miles of Celtic Park. But how close have other clubs come to completing the Quadruple?"
"Date-wise, Liverpool's 2021-22 season is the closest an English club has come to the ultimate four-trophy haul. The Reds had already secured the two domestic cups when they missed out on the league title by a solitary point on a dramatic final day on 22 May."
Arsenal and Manchester City have made history by becoming the first English clubs to remain in contention for the Quadruple—winning the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, and Champions League—into March. Both clubs are competing for the Premier League title, remain in the FA Cup and Champions League, and will face each other in the EFL Cup final this month. While Celtic achieved the Quadruple in 1966-67, English clubs have come close but fallen short. Manchester United and Manchester City won the Treble but were eliminated from the League Cup before season's end. Liverpool's 2021-22 season came closest, securing both domestic cups but missing the league title by one point on the final day.
