2021–22 Liverpool F.C. season
The 2021–22 season was Liverpool Football Club's 130th season in existence and their 60th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. During the season, Liverpool won the EFL Cup for the ninth time in their history, a tournament record, and later achieved a domestic cup double with a victory in the FA Cup for their eighth title. In spite of fixture congestion, Liverpool participated in every game they were eligible to play throughout the 2021–22 season, as they competed for both the Premier League and Champions League titles, ultimately finishing second in the Premier League, just a point behind Manchester City, and losing the Champions League final to Real Madrid 0–1.
