They aren’t the only team to get this far, though, with Manchester United (2008/09) and Chelsea (2006/07) almost claiming the incredible piece of history.But how did they do City compare with previous attempts?We go back in time to look at all the occasions when sides have failed in their quest to bring home the magic four, in terms of silverware.

Manchester City this season (2018/19)

Pep Guardiola’s men have been majestic this season and picked up the Carabao Cup back in February.They are going head-to-head with Liverpool for the Premier League crown, with the reigning champions currently just two points behind Jurgen Klopp’s men, while they also have a game in hand.Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling have been in devastating form for City this season6

On May 18 they will take on Watford in the FA Cup final, and they’ll also be hoping to make an appearance in the Champions League final at the Wando Metropolitano on June 1.They must get past Premier League rivals Tottenham in the quarter-finals of Europe’s elite competition if they are to keep alive those hopes, though.

Manchester City (2013/14)

City’s prospects of landing the quadruple this term have lasted a month longer than back in the 2013/14 campaign.Wigan Athletic were the team who ended City’s hopes that season, defeating them 2-1 at the Etihad in the FA Cup quarter-finals.James Perch scored the winner against City to knock them out of the FA Cup in February 20146

A matter of days later and the club’s Champions League dreams were over too – as Barcelona progressed to the quarter-finals at their expense with a 4-1 aggregate win.Under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini, who now manages West Ham United, City did win the Premier League and the League Cup that season.

Manchester United (2008/09)

Like their arch rivals above, the Red Devils also managed to secure Premier League and League Cup glory in the 2008/2009 campaign.It looked as though they were on the cusp of a stunning quadruple success that year, before those hopes were shattered on April 19 2009.Everton beat Manchester United on penalties to reach the 2009 FA Cup final6

Chelsea (2006/07)

Jose Mourinho’s side won the League Cup and FA Cup during this campaign, while finishing runners-up in the Premier League.They have, though, lasted the longest out of any of the teams to date in a bid to land the quadruple, with their impressive run finally ending on May 1 2007.The Blues crashed out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage against a familiar face, with Liverpool beating them 4-1 on penalties at Anfield (1-1 aggregate).Dirk Kuyt leads the celebrations as Liverpool got the better of Chelsea in the last four of the Champions League in May 20076

Nottingham Forest (1978/79)

Under the late, great Brian Clough it was a season to remember for Forest – who had qualified for the European Cup for the first time in their history having won the title the previous year.They managed to win the European Cup and League Cup, although their chances of winning the quadruple ended in February of that season.A 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth round proved to be Forest’s downfall, while they finished runners up in the First Division, as it was known then.Nottingham Forest won the European Cup in May 1979, but were unable to secure a memorable quadruple that season6
