Liverpool Football Club, based in Liverpool, England, is a renowned professional football club. The team competes in the Premier League, the highest tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club became a part of the Football League a year later and has been playing its home games at Anfield since its inception. In terms of domestic success, Liverpool has clinched an impressive 19 League titles, eight FA Cups, a record-breaking nine League Cups, and 16 FA Community Shields. On the international stage, the club has triumphed with six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups, and one FIFA Club World Cup, all of which stand as English records. Liverpool firmly established itself as a dominant force in both domestic and European football during the 1970s and 1980s under the guidance of legendary managers such as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, and Kenny Dalglish. Together, they steered the club to a combined total of 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool added two more European Cups to their trophy cabinet in 2005 and 2019, under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively. The latter also guided the team to its historic 19th league title in 2020, marking the club's first triumph during the Premier League era. Liverpool Football Club holds immense global value and enjoys an extensive fan base. The club maintains long-standing rivalries with Manchester United and Everton. Under the management of Shankly, the team made a significant change in 1964 by adopting an all-red home strip, replacing the previous red shirts and white shorts. This iconic all-red kit has been consistently used ever since. The club's anthem, resonating with its supporters, is "You'll Never Walk Alone." Liverpool's dedicated fans have experienced two major tragedies. The first occurred during the 1985 European Cup Final at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, where fans attempting to escape a collapsing wall resulted in 39 deaths, predominantly Italian and Juventus supporters. As a consequence, Liverpool received a six-year ban from European competitions, while other English clubs faced a five-year ban. The second tragedy unfolded at the Hillsborough stadium in 1989, where 97 Liverpool supporters lost their lives in a crush against perimeter fencing. This disaster led to the removal of fenced standing terraces in the top two tiers of English football, making way for all-seater stadiums. Following extensive campaigns for justice, multiple coroners' inquests, commissions, and independent panels ultimately absolved the fans of any blame.
