Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said matching Manchester United's 1998-99 achievement of winning the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in the same season is "more or less impossible" in the modern game.

Liverpool's 2-0 loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round on Tuesday ended the Reds' treble chances for the 2019-20 campaign:

Jurgen Klopp's side are all but guaranteed to win the Premier League as they have a 22-point lead at the top of the table, and they are still in the Champions League, but they can no longer emulate Sir Alex Ferguson's treble-winning side.
