Jamie Carragher, former Liverpool star and now a respected pundit, believes his old club could achieve something special this season: a Premier League and Champions League double.
Under new manager Arne Slot, the Reds have started the 2024/25 campaign in stunning form. They’re not just winning games; they’re dominating.
Here’s how things stand:
- Premier League: Top of the table.
- Champions League: Perfect record in Europe so far, winning all six group-stage matches.
It’s an exciting time for Liverpool fans, but can they keep it up? That’s the big question. For Carragher, the answer seems to be a confident yes.
Speaking on It’s Called Soccer, Carragher predicted Liverpool could win both the Premier League and the Champions League this season. He’s clearly impressed with how the team has performed under Slot’s leadership.
On the other hand, Gary Neville isn’t convinced. He thinks Barcelona or Inter Milan might take the Champions League crown. And for the Premier League? Neville is backing Arsenal to overtake Liverpool in the title race.
This difference of opinion makes for great debate, but Liverpool fans have every reason to dream big. The club last lifted the Champions League trophy in 2019, defeating Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid. A year later, they ended their long wait for a Premier League title under Jurgen Klopp.
For Slot, replicating Klopp’s success in his debut season would be nothing short of remarkable. Taking over from a club legend like Klopp was always going to be a tough act to follow. But so far, the Dutchman is proving he’s up to the challenge.
The season isn’t over yet, but if Liverpool keeps this momentum, Carragher’s bold prediction might just come true.
