Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has predicted that Liverpool could achieve an extraordinary feat this season by winning both the Premier League and the Champions League.

His comments came after Liverpool’s impressive 2-0 victory over Real Madrid at Anfield, a performance that has further solidified their reputation as one of Europe’s most formidable teams.

Liverpool, under the guidance of manager Jürgen Klopp, are currently enjoying an exceptional season.

In the Premier League, they lead the standings with 31 points, maintaining an eight-point gap ahead of their closest rivals, Manchester City.

This dominance on the domestic front is mirrored in Europe, where they sit at the top of their Champions League group with a perfect record of 15 points.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Ferdinand highlighted Liverpool’s remarkable form, praising their ability to perform at the highest level against elite opposition.

“Liverpool have set the standard for other teams in Europe,” he remarked.

“They are currently the team to beat. Watching them, you can see the confidence and unity in their squad. They’re in fantastic form.”

Ferdinand also acknowledged the challenge faced by Real Madrid and their manager, Arne Slot.

“For Slot, this game was a test to see how his team could match up against a side of Liverpool’s caliber,” he said.

Despite their strong history in the Champions League, Real Madrid struggled to break through Liverpool’s solid defense and dynamic attack.

Liverpool’s resurgence this season has been fueled by a combination of factors, including the return to fitness of key players, Klopp’s tactical adjustments, and the emergence of young talents who have added depth to the squad.

The team’s attacking trio, supported by a robust midfield and a solid defensive line, has consistently delivered results both domestically and in Europe.

Ferdinand didn’t hold back in his admiration for Liverpool’s potential this season.

“If I had to pick a team most likely to win both the Premier League and Champions League, my money would be on Liverpool,” he stated.

The Super Eagles are aiming for their first away win against Rwanda in Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Nigeria has struggled to beat the Amavubi in Kigali, with three previous meetings ending without a win.

The last time they faced Rwanda in a World Cup qualifier at the Amahoro Stadium was in 2004, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

In 2011, both teams played to a goalless draw in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Stade Regional de Nyamirambo. Another goalless draw followed in September last year during a 2025 AFCON qualifying match at the Amahoro Stadium.

With three draws and one loss from their first four games, the Super Eagles are in fifth place in Group C with just three points. Rwanda, on the other hand, sits comfortably in second place with seven points. The Super Eagles need to break their winless streak to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

Rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, better known as Odumodublvck, has stirred up a heated debate with his latest take on Nigerian football.

The Cast crooner recently declared Mikel Obi as the greatest Nigerian footballer of all time in a post on X, which quickly sparked mixed reactions.

While some agreed with his choice, others argued that players like Rashidi Yekini, Kanu Nwankwo, and Austin Jay-Jay Okocha deserve the title instead.

Mikel Obi had an impressive club career, winning two Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and a Champions League with Chelsea.

On the international stage, he helped Nigeria win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and secured a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympics. He also came close to being named African Footballer of the Year in 2013, finishing as the runner-up.
