Liverpool FC

🏆 Honours & Legacy

Liverpool FC is one of the most successful and widely supported clubs in world soccer.

Their trophy cabinet includes:

🔄 Recent History

After their dominance in the '70s and '80s, Liverpool went through a period of decline, struggling to reclaim domestic and European glory. That changed in the late 2010s under the influential manager, Jürgen Klopp, who revitalized the club and led them to:

✅ Their first Premier League title in 30 years (2019-20)
✅ Their sixth Champions League title (2018-19)
