At the same time, they are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they are the big favorites to win it, since they face Chelsea in the "4" and if they qualify, they will face one of Manchester United or Coventry. From there, they are also in the eight of the UEFA Champions League, where they have the most difficult task against Real Madrid.

The fact that he did not win the League Cup does not mean anything, since essentially the real meaning of the treble is league, FA Cup and Champions League and the "citizens" are in all of them.

The second team claiming the original treble is Paris Saint-Germain. Kylian Mbappe's team is partying again this year in Ligue 1, they are at +12 with 12 matches remaining and will conquer the championship again. While they are in the "4" of the French Cup, where they face Rennes at home. He is the favorite there as well, considering that the other semi-final is Lyon - Valencian.

Finally, the Parisians are well on their way to winning the UEFA Champions League, as they are in the top eight and will compete against FC Barcelona for qualification to the "4". If he goes through there, he will be favorite for the final, since he will fall on the winner of the pair Dortmund - Atletico Madrid.



The special case of Bayer Leverkusen and Benfica

In addition to Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, who are chasing the original treble, Leverkusen is also firmly in the "trick" for the ultimate in all competitions. Xabi Alonso's team has "crazed" all of Europe with its frantic run in Germany and the Europa League and is the only unbeaten team in the entire Old Continent.

He is advancing in the Bundesliga to knock Bayern off the top after too many years and basically only if he "kills himself" he won't do it. With 8 matches remaining, they are first with 13 points difference from the second Bayern and with 15 points in the next matches, regardless of what the Bavarians will do, history is written. But what is particularly important is that apart from the championship, they are in the "4" of the German Cup, where they are not only the big favourites, but they are the only team from the Bundesliga. In the top four, they face at home Fortuna Dusseldorf, who play in Bundesliga 2, while in the other pair are Saarbrucken, who are in the third division, and Kaiserslautern (Bundesliga 2).

So Xabi Alonso's team is also in the eighth round of the UEFA Europa League, where they face West Ham for qualification in a difficult game if anything. And they are 4 games away from the final there too.

Benfica is in a similar situation to claim all the titles, but in the league they are one point behind Sporting, but also with one more match. They are not favorites for the title, but they are firmly in the "bay", while they are also in the "4" of the Cup, where they face the "lions" in double matches and have been defeated in the first with 2-1. The second leg is at home and the other pair is that of Porto with Guimaraes.

Finally, Benfica is also in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where it will face Olympique Marseille and has the first reason to go to the next stage, where it will find the winner from the Liverpool - Benfica pair.

Liverpool's...unofficial treble

In conclusion, it is important to emphasize that the treble is essentially claimed by two teams (City, Paris), while two others go for... a treble with the Europa League (Leverkusen, Benfica). Liverpool are also in the "trick" for three titles, but not with the FA Cup, where they were eliminated by Manchester United. With the League Cup, which he has won, it is still not considered a treble with this particular Cup.

The "reds" have many chances in Yi's last season Jurgen Klopp to chase three title wins, after lifting the Carabao Cup, they are in "8" in the Europa League, while they are also in 1st place in the Premier League with 67 points.
