Jordan Henderson lifts Liverpool's eighth FA Cup at Wembley |
Jurgen Klopp’s side claimed a dramatic 6-5 penalty shootout win over Chelsea . The game at the home of English football finished 0-0 after 120 minutes.
There has been a fierce battle for sole control over the honour between the Reds and Manchester United with many fans adding or discounting certain competitions to favour their side.
However, after Jurgen Klopp's side claimed the FA Cup at Wembley - there can now be no debate about who reigns supreme in English club football. A total of 50 major trophies have made their way back to Anfield , with the Reds still fighting on two other fronts this season.
After their latest Wembley triumph, Liverpool's haul now consists of 19 league titles, eight FA Cups and nine League Cups on the domestic front. In addition, there are six European Cups/ Champions Leagues , three UEFA Cup/Europa Leagues, four European Super Cups and one FIFA Club World Cup.
In contrast, United have won a total of 45 major trophies, but are yet to pick up a piece of silverware since Jose Mourinho’s time in charge of the club. Their list includes 20 league titles, 12 FA Cups, five League Cups, three European Cups, one European Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Cup/Europa League, one European Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup.
