Liverpool also holds the record for the most league cup wins, and they have won more European Cups/Champions Leagues than any other English club. They have also won more major honors than any other English club in the 21st century.

Early Years

In its early years, the club struggled to establish itselfSpine-tingling in the top tier of English football, spending most of its time in the second division. However, in 1901, the club won promotion to the first division for the first time, and by the 1920s, they had established themselves as a force to be reckoned with.

But it was not until a great leader arrived that Liverpool would truly become a football powerhouse. In 1959, Liverpool appointed Bill Shankly as their new manager, and he would go on to transform the club's fortunes. Shankly instilled a new sense of discipline and professionalism at the club, and under his guidance, Liverpool won promotion to the first division in 1962.

In the years that followed, Shankly built a team that would dominate English football, winning the league title three times, the FA Cup twice, and the UEFA Cup once. Shankly retired in 1974, having laid the foundations for Liverpool's future success.

Golden Age

Following Shankly's retirement, Bob Paisley took over as manager and continued Liverpool's success. Paisley won six league titles, three European Cups, and the League Cup three times, establishing Liverpool as one of the dominant teams in Europe.

During Paisley's reign, Liverpool boasted a team of talented players, including Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, and Ian Rush. They played an attacking, entertaining brand of football that thrilled fans around the world.

In the 1980s, Liverpool continued to dominate English football, winning five league titles, two European Cups, and the FA Cup four times. The team was managed by Joe Fagan, Kenny Dalglish, and Graeme Souness, and included stars such as John Barnes, Peter Beardsley, and Alan Hansen.

The Fall and The Rise

As the 1990s arrived, Liverpool's fortunes began to decline, and the team struggled to compete with the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal. However, they still managed to win three more league titles, two FA Cups, and a UEFA Cup.

As the new millennium dawned, Liverpool continued to rebuild and reinvent itself. In 2015, they appointed Jurgen Klopp as their new manager, who would lead Liverpool to a new era of success. Klopp has built a team that plays an exciting, attacking brand of football, and in 2019, Liverpool won the Champions League for the sixth time.

In the 2019-20 season, Liverpool was on track to win their first league title in 30 years, before the season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they bounced back in the 2020-21 season, winning their 19th league title and first under Klopp's leadership.
