“Liverpool Can Win Premier League and Champions League This Season” – Rio Ferdinand
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.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
