Liverpool still lead the way when it comes to major trophies despite not claiming any silverware last season.
Liverpool will have hopes of claiming silverware this season after a dry spell during the 2022/23 season.
Matters were made worse for Jurgen Klopp’s side due to Manchester City winning the treble, and Pep Guardiola’s side have already kicked off the new campaign with a trophy to their name.
The Sky Blues last night prevailed in their UEFA Super Cup tie with Sevilla, sealing a 5-4 victory on penalties after there was nothing to separate the sides after 90 minutes.
Guardiola expressed his delight after the full-time whistle at adding to his trophy haul as City boss and is now looking to complete his set when taking part in the Club World Cup later this year. “We didn’t have this title and now we have it,” said the Catalan coach. “We miss just one to finish all of the circle, to be able for this club to have won all titles we can have.”
City may well be adding to the collection of trophies they have lifted under Pep Guardiola’s reign, though the Sky Blues possess just over half the number of major honours of Liverpool in their history as a club. United are the closest team to catching the Reds in this department and missed an opportunity to add to their tally after losing in last season’s FA Cup final at Wembley to their bitter rivals.
There has also been plenty of talk in recent days as to whether or not Chelsea are a bigger club than Liverpool. The Londoners still trail the Reds by a total of 22 major titles, leaving them with plenty of work to do to be viewed as the one of England’s elite.
