## History
Liverpool Football Club was founded on 3 June 1892 by John Houlding after an argument with the directors of Everton F.C about them renting the stadium, Anfield. Liverpool won their first League Championship in 1901, and their second in 1906. They played their first FA Cup final in 1914, losing 1&ndash;0 to Burnley. The most recent FA Cup victory by Liverpool was achieved in the 2021–22 season, increasing their tally to eight. Their last domestic cup trophy was the EFL Cup in February 2024, after defeating Chelsea, which increased Liverpool's tally to a record ten. Liverpool have also won the European Cup/Champions League six times, the most by any British team. Liverpool's fifth success was in Istanbul in 2005. The game was won after Liverpool tied 3&ndash;3 with AC Milan, after being down 3&ndash;0 at half-time. The Reds then won the penalty shootout, partly due to goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek's saves. Liverpool's sixth and most recent success was in 2019 when they beat fellow Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur 2&ndash;0 in Madrid. Liverpool have won England's top-flight football league 20 times, a record they share with Manchester United, most recently in the 2024–25 Premier League season. In other competitions, Liverpool have won 16 Charity/Community Shields, three UEFA Super Cup, three UEFA Cups, and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2019.  

Liverpool have had two tragedies in their history. The first was the Heysel Stadium disaster of 1985, which led to the death of 39 Juventus fans, and the second was the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, which caused the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans. The death toll was increased to 97 in 2021 when 55-year old Andrew Devine passed away due to sustaining brain damage during the disaster, meaning he was also unlawfully killed at Hillsborough.
