Manchester City's shock disintegration at the end of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final on Wednesday against Real Madrid gave Mohamed Salah the last rival he wanted. It made Liverpool's way to the unexpected historic quadruple feel logical but more likely. In addition to Liverpool's six-game winning streak, Man City's emotional state following the demise of their dreams of the season has been turbulent.

It is not that Man City are not the hardest referees to win all their remaining games, but the vast majority of people, from team players to the top, will face the consequences of scoring two goals in the 90th minute. Madrid. But where is the idea that City has won the Premier League straightforward games compared to Liverpool's six remaining games in their booth? Liverpool's four-fold dreams do not go the easy way and may require all six to win. We know that two of them must be winners, but is the FA Cup Final against Chelsea or the Champions League Final against Real Madrid the big question?

Estimating the weight of Liverpool's seven quadruple obstacles

7. Liverpool vs. Wolves, 11 am ET May 22 It took Divock Origi the magic of stoppage time to give the Reds three points at Molineux, but Liverpool certainly will not faint at the door if they come on May 22 with their four dreams wisely.

6. Southampton vs. Liverpool, 2:45 pm ET May 17 The Reds beat the Saints at Anfield, but Southampton will hope the Reds are finished following an FA Cup tie or a four-point defeat.

5. Aston Villa vs. Liverpool, 3 pm ET on Tuesday. It took Mohamed Salah a penalty to deny Steven Gerrard a point in the two teams' first meeting, and it was 1-0 wrapped up in a dispute. It will also be the Reds' third game in eight days.

4. FA Cup Final vs. Chelsea, 11:45 am ET May 14 The Reds have pulled Chelsea away from home this season, and Thomas Tuchel's men have been in contention for a month and will be releasing their squad.

3. Liverpool vs. Tottenham, 2:45 pm ET Saturday. This has two sides: Spurs need the game and have been waiting all week while the Reds travel to Spain in the second leg of the UCL final. The teams drew 2-2 in London in a highly regarded match with a goalkeeper.

2. The Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris, 3 pm ET May 28 Man City and Liverpool maybe the two best teams in the world, but it is arrogant indifference on the part of Real Madrid at any level (especially given the threat of Karim Benzema and the Liverpool earthquake back then). Real have already won La Liga by 15 points in the remaining leg and have beaten Man City, PSG, and Chelsea in two legs in the Champions League. All that without mentioning that Real Madrid eliminated Liverpool in the 2020-21 UCL and beat them in the 2017-18 final.

 1. Man City drop points The speculation that Manchester City will fail to beat Newcastle, the Wolves, West Ham, or Aston Villa in the last two weeks seems very unlikely to be ahead of the Madrid crisis. Still, it remains a significant obstacle to Liverpool's quadruple.
