Was in this position checkmate even possible?

As the title, my question is if I could have evere done checkmate from this position, I'm a low elo player and new to the games but I had a thought about it.

even though it looks like it, in this position there wouldn't be a forced checkmate, but white is up in this position.

I see, even if I checked and rechecked and seems like after a lot of bad moves from black there could have been a checkmate... SO I'm just sad that I lost it because my lack of dedication

So we could see that it can be a checkmate but it wouldn’t right?

The first thing I'm looking at is ... Kc8 (forced), Bd7+ Kd8 (forced), Bxg4+ Ke8 (forced), Bd7+ Kd8 (forced), Bb5+ Kc8 (forced), Rc4+ Kd8 (forced), Bc7+ Kc8 (forced), Bb6+ Kb8 (forced), Bc8+ Kc8 (forced), Be5+ Kd8 (forced), Rd4+ Ke8 and Black cannot get out of the checks even though Black is materially better. I don't yet see a forced mate against Black (though many unforced ones).

There is no checkmate, white must draw by perpetual check.
