How many Champions League Liverpool won? List of every European cup trophy and every UCL finish

Liverpool are in a position to potentially complete a historic quadruple in 2021-22 after clinching the EFL Cup title against Chelsea last month.

Jurgen Klopp’s side will go to go head-to-head with Manchester City in the Premier League title race with an FA Cup final against Chelsea on tap for May 14.

However, the Reds are also amongst the favourites to continue their decades-long love affair with the European Cup/Champions League, standing one step away from the final.

Jurgen Klopp’s 2019 Champions League success in Madrid was his first major title at Liverpool and his side look set for more iconic European nights to end the campaign.

How many Champions League Liverpool won?

Liverpool are joint third on the European Cup/Champions League all-time winners list, with six titles, alongside Bayern Munich.

After being revamped as the UEFA Champions League in 1992, the Reds have won two titles, in 2005 and 2019.

2005: The Miracle of Istanbul

Liverpool’s incredible penalty shootout win over Serie A superpower AC Milan in the 2005 final is undoubtedly the most symbolic game in the club’s modern history.

Rafa Benitez’s side battled through to the knockout stages as an outsider and reached the final on the back of Luis Garcia’s infamous ‘ghost goal’ in their semifinal win over Chelsea.

However, the drama of beating Chelsea was dwarfed in the Turkish capital with Liverpool looking dead and buried as they trailed 3-0 at halftime to AC Milan.

Stories of AC Milan players celebrating and Benitez’s measured halftime team talk have entered club lore, as goals from Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Smicer and Xabi Alonso set up an unexpected penalty-kick shootout, and Jerzy Dudek’s famous dance moves foiled Andriy Shevchenko from the spot.

2019: Klopp’s first step in Madrid

Liverpool faced Tottenham in the 2019 final, looking to secure a first piece of silverware for Klopp, after an unbelievable 4-0 semifinal Anfield turnaround against Barcelona.

Despite showing some of the 2005 spirit against Barcelona, the 2019 final exorcised the ghost of their 2019 defeat to Real Madrid, but the Wanda Metropolitano was a different experience to Istanbul.

Mo Salah’s early penalty settled Liverpool’s nerves on the night, and with neither side able to impact the game in a nervy encounter, fan favourite Divock Origi came off the bench to clinch it for Klopp.
