Kevin De Bruyne has played down Manchester City's quadruple prospects after they beat Chelsea 4-3 on penalties in the League Cup final but admitted such an achievement would make them the "best team ever".

With Liverpool also missing the chance to move three points clear at the top of the Premier League after being held to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday, the odds on City completing an unprecedented clean sweep have shortened. But asked if Pep Guardiola's men could win all four trophies on offer, midfielder De Bruyne said it would be "almost impossible".
