are . From 'all round the fields of Anfield Road' to every stretch of the world, the Reds hold a fanbase that unites in the face of adversity, whilst getting to enjoy constant moments in the spotlight. Their history, pedigree and heritage make anyone think that
Liverpool are — and that would be exactly the case. Very few teams ever get the chance to compete in the greatest competitions in the world. Just think how large the English pyramid is and how all of those players will dream of playing at Anfield once, let alone week in and week out. The players that have stepped onto the hallowed turf at Anfield have forged themselves into history, with a few groups of players doing far more than that. As , he has one major mission left on his hands — winning the treble. They remain in the , facing Atalanta and potentially Benfica before a final in Dublin; they as of the 1st April 2024, whilst Klopp's side have already won the Carabao Cup by . Two trophies remain to complete greatness. To begin, Liverpool first won a treble in 1984. Joe Fagan, who only managed the Reds from 1983 to 1985, guided them to glory in three competitions. The managerial switch came after legendary manager Bob Paisley, coach of the last nine seasons who helped them win a major trophy in every campaign bar one, retired from
Football. His success helped the Reds win six league titles and three European Cups, so the pressure was on Fagan to try and replicate the glory of the Paisley era. However, any concern that he wouldn't be up to the task proved to be false, as Liverpool became the first team in
England to win three major trophies in the same season as they won the league title, European Cup and League Cup. In the First Division, despite a dull 1-1 draw to on the opening day of the season, the Reds eventually clicked into gear. At the end of the season, they beat Coventry 5-0 at Anfield, opening up a five-point gap to second place. scored four of the goals against the Midlands-based side, whilst they then drew their penultimate match of the season against Notts County to secure the title. Meanwhile, in the European Cup, t . It came after Liverpool won every match, bar one, up until the final. Legendary striker Rush scored five goals in the competition, including two in the second-leg semi-final against Dinamo Bucharest. In the final against Roma, Phil Neal's opening goal was cancelled out by Roberto Pruzzo's strike for the Italians, yet it went to penalties — and Alan Kennedy had the honour of scoring the decisive spot-kick. Finally, in the League Cup, they beat bitter rivals Everton in the final 1-0. Graeme Souness scored the winning goal in the replay after the initial match finished 0-0. The League Cup was their first trophy, because it took place at the end of March, but the European Cup and First Division took more room in the cabinet. Rush finished as their top scorer with 47 goals in all competitions. 1983/1984 First Division table 1. Liverpool 80 2. Southampton 77 3. Nottingham Forest 74 4.
Manchester United 74 Fast forward more than 15 years, and Liverpool won another treble, yet this one was made up of different trophies. They won the League Cup, just like they did in 1984, but this time the FA Cup and UEFA Cup - now named the Europa League - went alongside it. Gerard Houllier, former
France and coach, managed them to glory — and in recent history. Although they didn't win the Premier League, they still had a respectable season, finishing third on 69 points, 11 behind champions . They won the League Cup, named the Worthington Cup at the time, on the 25th February 2001. Taking place at the Millennium Stadium due to Wembley being rebuilt, the Reds got the better of Birmingham City on penalties. Robbie Fowler initially gave them the lead, but Darren Purse equalised for their opponents in the dying seconds. Only a shootout could separate them, with scoring the winning penalty as Andrew Johnson missed. The second piece of the jigsaw came on the 12th May, as . Freddie Ljungberg gave the Gunners the lead in the first half, but two goals from Michael Owen in the 83rd and 88th minute secured a dramatic victory for Houllier's side. On their way to the final, they had to beat Rotherham, Leeds, Man City, Tranmere and Wycombe. Finally, they completed the puzzle by winning the UEFA Cup four days after their FA Cup triumph against Alaves. The Reds dramatically beat the Spanish side 5-4, making it one of the greatest matches in the history of the sport. The game swung back and forth, but eventually, an own goal from Delfí Geli gave Liverpool victory over nine-man Alaves in the 116th minute.

Some will argue whether it is truly a treble, with the Super Cup and Club
World Cup often seen as secondary tournaments, but we've included them. Due to winning the , Liverpool faced
Chelsea in the Super Cup the following summer. It presented their first opportunity for silverware, which they took in dramatic circumstances. In Istanbul, they beat Frank Lampard's side on penalties. scored twice after 120 minutes, but Olivier Giroud and Cesar Azpilicueta cancelled out his goals. However, as the pressure built, the Reds showed their composure. Tammy Abraham missed the crucial penalty for the Blues, which gave
Mohamed Salah the opportunity to seal victory — and he did in expected
fashion. Just a couple of months later, midway through the traditional domestic
Premier League season, Liverpool jetted off to the capital city of Qatar, Doha, to compete in the Club World Cup. They had never won the trophy as their preparations began, so it had plenty of significance — and, under the blazing Middle Eastern sun, Liverpool connected to the footballing gods by winning it in dramatic fashion. In the semi-finals, scored a 91st-minute winner to beat Monterrey 2-1. Meanwhile, in the final, Firmino again proved to be the saviour with the only goal of the match in extra time. The Brazilian epitomised the definition of a 'clutch player', helping the Reds win the tournament and their second trophy of the season. However, the best was yet to come, as at the end of the season. It was delayed significantly due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, but they finally sealed the title after slipped up away to Chelsea. They finished on 99 points, 18 ahead of 's side on 81. They blew the opportunity to become just the second side ever to finish on 100 points after a disappointing defeat to
Arsenal at the end of the season, but that took nothing away from their glory. Salah finished as their top goalscorer in all competitions with 23 goals, whilst the only downside was that no one could see them lift the world-famous Premier League trophy in person. At one point in the season, Liverpool had the biggest points lead (25) in the competition's history. 2019/2020 Premier League table 1. Liverpool 99 2.
