Liverpool move clear of Man Utd after Carabao Cup final win as top 10 most successful English clubs named

Officially, Liverpool is the most successful football team in English history.

In the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 1-0 after extra time.

At Wembley, Virgil van Dijk’s header in the 118th minute proved to be the winning goal, and Jurgen took home another trophy to round off his nine-year tenure as Liverpool’s manager.

In addition to winning the cup for his team, Van Dijk’s header—his 42nd effort on goal of the game—made history.

In their history, Liverpool has already won 68 trophies, including cups, super cups, and leagues both domestically and internationally.

Liverpool and their bitter rivals Manchester United were tied on 67 trophies prior to Sunday, but now supporters of Liverpool can declare that their team is the most successful in English football history.

After winning the same competition the previous season, when Erik ten Hag’s team defeated Newcastle United 2-0 at Wembley, United drew even with Liverpool on 67.

Now, just one day short of a year later, Liverpool has pulled away once more.

Liverpool is well-positioned to maintain its position as the most successful club in England.

Leading the Premier League by one point over Manchester City, Klopp’s team is also one of the favourites to win the FA Cup.

Liverpool will play Sparta Prague in the Europa League last-16 in Europe.

Although United is already eliminated from both the Premier League championship chase and European play, Liverpool’s fiercest rivals still have a chance to win the FA Cup this year.

Liverpool supporters will find the victory even more memorable because a number of their younger players were instrumental in it.

Due to injuries preventing players like Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Dominik Szoboszlai from playing, Klopp had to rely on young, inexperienced players like Conor Bradley, Bobby Clark, Jayden Danns, Jarell Quansah, and James McConnell to get the job done against Chelsea’s highly-paid team.

The top 10 most successful English clubs are as follows:

1: Liverpool (68 trophies)

2: Man United (67)

3: Arsenal (49)

4: Chelsea (34)

5: Man City (34)

6: Tottenham (26)

7: Aston Villa (25)

8: Everton (24)

9: Newcastle (13)

10: Nottingham Forest (13)
