Eh? We only have to win 3 games to win the CL, as long as we don't throw away the aggregate lead in the second leg.
don't have to win any, quarters and semi on away goals and the final on pens, it would be stress city but doable

Need to factor in the knock-on effects.Yes exactly.
If you disagree, which outcome do you disagree with then? My predictions are on the optimistic side precisely to demonstrate just how unlikely it is.

All media outlets now rightly talking about aboout our chances of the impossible quadruple. I don't mind them doing so either at this stage of the season. Our issue is they start this all the way back in January and put the talk of it on our fans getting giddy and that's what annoys us. Luckily most are wise to it. Take yesterdays pre-match, you can tell Sky were looking for fans to say "we're going to do it"... and most went "not gonna happen really".
Here are potential scenarios and how I perceive them.
Slight disappointment.
a) 1 Cup: Carabao - represents a disappointing season, and one that we don't think our team deserve.
b) 2 Cups: Caraboa and FA Cup - still would be disappointing for us but I think Pep/players/fans really do want that FA Cup win, it's been a while. We've come a long way to see this haul as an underacheivement.
Happy enough after tough season:
c) 2 Cups: Caraboa and Premier League - The Premier League being retained will be a monumental acheivement due to the sheer number of games we've played.
d) 2 Cups: Caraboa and Champs League - This would also be incredible, because the pressure of losing the PL and FA Cup in quick succession rounds of a season with the hardest competition to win. The downside is Liverpool - but United would take it harder than us thankfully.
Fantastic season:
e) 3 Cups; Caraboa, FA Cup, Premier League
f) 3 Cups: Caraboa, FA Cup, Champs League
g) 3 Cups; Caraboa, Premier League, Champs League.
Unbelievable stuff:
h) 4 Cups: Caraboa, FA Cup, Premier Leauge, Champs League.
How would you rate a season in which we won the domestic treble but lost to United or Liverpool in the CL final?
This is the sort of thing I think about at 4 in the morning.
Even sadder, I mentally calculated the odds of it happening. It came out at roughly 3% which I thought was worryingly high.

I just hope that 2 missed penalties costs us the 2 biggest prizes.
