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. Liverpool were on course to winning a unique quadruple, as they won a record-breaking ninth EFL Cup and the FA Cup, beating Chelsea on penalties in both finals. However, they lost the Premier League title by one point to Manchester City, and – in a repeat of the 2018 final – lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid. This was the first season since 2015–16 without Georginio Wijnaldum, who departed to Paris Saint-Germain and the first since 2017-18 without Xherdan Shaqiri, who departed to Lyon.
Liverpool excelled in both the FA Cup and EFL Cup, beating Chelsea in both finals on penalties after both matches ended in goalless draws. On the final day of the season, Liverpool faced Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield, while their title challengers Manchester City faced Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium. Liverpool found themselves 0–1 down early in the match, however, City were also a goal down to Villa. Sadio Mané levelled the scoreline for Liverpool, and their title hopes were kept alive by the fact that City were now 0–2 down. However, City went on to score three goals in five minutes to take the lead and, despite Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson scoring two late goals to beat Wolves 3–1, it was not enough and the Reds were pipped to the title by a point. Meanwhile in the UEFA Champions League, despite being drawn in a group with Atlético Madrid, AC Milan and Porto, Liverpool made history by becoming the first English club to win all six group stage matches. They advanced all the way to the final where they took on Real Madrid, as they had done four years earlier. In Paris, the same city in which the Reds won the European Cup against Madrid in 1981, they lost 0–1 as Vinícius Júnior scored the only goal of the game for Los Blancos.
On 12 July 2021, Liverpool announced that they would play four friendlies as part of a pre-season training camp in Austria. On 19 July, they stated that they would complete their pre-season campaign with two home friendlies. On 29 July, the Reds confirmed that they would face Bologna in two sixty-minute matches as part of a training camp in France in between the previously announced engagements.
