Honors and legacy

Liverpool FC is one of the most successful and widely supported clubs in world soccer. Their trophy cabinet includes:
  • 20 League Titles (tied 1st with Man Utd)
  • 6 European Cups (the most of any English club)
  • 8 FA Cups
  • 10 League Cups

Liverpool dominated English and European soccer in the 1970s and 80s, led by legendary managers Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley, who helped define the club's iconic playing style and winning mentality.

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 under Jürgen Klopp, who revitalized the club and led them to their first Premier League title in 30 years (2019-20) and their sixth Champions League title (2018-19). Arne Slot then won the title again in his very first season in charge (2024-25). After an underwhelming 2025-26 season, Slot was sacked and replaced by Andoni Iraola, formerly of Bournemouth, in June 2026.

Greatest ever player

A never-ending debate among fans! The top two contenders:
  • Kenny Dalglish: The king of Anfield, both as a player and manager.
  • Steven Gerrard: A one-club legend who carried Liverpool for two decades.

The US sports doppelganger

A team with a rich history, passionate fanbase, and periods of dominance followed by a resurgence…

Boston Red Sox: Like Liverpool, they endured a long championship drought before returning to the top under new leadership.

Fun Fact: Liverpool is currently owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG), also owners of the Boston Red Sox.

Famous fans

  • LeBron James: Not just a fan but a minority owner of the club.
  • Daniel Craig (AKA James Bond)
  • Dua Lipa: calls herself an "honorary" Liverpool fan, and "One Kiss" became a Kop anthem after she played the 2018 Champions League final. Her family supports Arsenal, though, so she is officially split.

Most famous moment: 2005 Miracle of Istanbul

AC Milan 3-3 Liverpool (Liverpool win on penalties). Down 3-0 at halftime in the Champions League final, Liverpool pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in soccer history. Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Smicer, and Xabi Alonso scored within six chaotic minutes to level the game. To this day, fans simply call it "The Miracle of Istanbul."
