Liverpool have been incredible this season, says Ian Rush

Still all to play for as Liverpool chase the title, says Ian Rush

Liverpool's campaign will go down as an "amazing success", even if Jurgen Klopp's side are unable to land a trophy this season, according to the club's all-time leading scorer Ian Rush.

Liverpool's 5-0 drubbing of Huddersfield took the Reds back to the top of the table on 91 points, meaning reigning champions City cannot afford to slip up in their Super Sunday clash with Burnley, live on Sky Sports Premier League.

The Reds also remain contention to win the Champions League and head to Spain for the first leg of their semi-final clash with tournament favourites Barcelona at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.

"I'm enjoying watching Liverpool play and enjoying the winning brand of football they are playing at the moment," Rush told Sky Sports News.

Rush was part of the last Liverpool team to win the title back in 1990

"Even if Liverpool win nothing the season would have been an amazing success.

"Liverpool over-achieved by getting to the Champions League final last year but we set ourselves standards there by getting to that final and we have met those standards, and even beaten them this year.

"Even if we don't win anything I think we have still improved and I am really happy with the way it has gone this season.

"Hopefully it will still be Liverpool's league and also Liverpool's Champions League as well."

Liverpool's only league defeat this season came at the hands of City in January, and should they miss out on the title, their 91-point haul would already be a Premier League record for a runner-up.

"It's amazing to think Liverpool could get beaten once this season and still not win the league," Rush added.

"To get this far and have gotten so many points and not be guaranteed to win the league is amazing, but it's still all to play for.

"It just goes to show good Man City are that we could get 97 points and still not win the league.

"If you look at their squad you would have to say it is better than Liverpool's even if Liverpool have shown they can beat Man City 11 vs 11, no problem. They've got two, maybe even three, different teams and that shows how strong Man City are."

Rush has recently returned from a trip across Pakistan to promote football in the country and raise awareness of the work of the Ian Rush Foundation, which aims to help children fulfil their dreams.

The Liverpool legend's trip included a visit to Lyari in the Sindh province capital of Karachi, which five years ago was listed by the World Atlas as the sixth most dangerous city in the world.

Earlier in the week, Rush conducted an impromptu coaching session for young footballers near the city of Sialkot.

He was also part of a delegation - which included Sky Sports Toe-to-Toe boxing podcast host Spencer Fearon - that met with Punjab Sports Minister Rai Taimoor Khan Bhatti to tour sports facilities in the city of Lahore.

Rush clearly left a lasting impression during his first-ever visit to Pakistan and has since announced that a football stadium in Lahore is to be named in his honour.
