Liverpool Football Club, an English professional association football club, is Britain's
most successful team in Union of European Football Association (UEFA)
competitions. Since 1964, they have won eleven European trophies: the UEFA
Champions League (formerly known as the European Cup) five times, the UEFA
Europa League (formerly known as the UEFA Cup) three times, and the UEFA Super
Cup three times.
Qualification for European
competitions is determined by a team's success in its domestic league and cup
competitions from the previous season. Liverpool competed in European
competitions for 21 consecutive seasons until the 1985 European Cup Final, the
occasion of the Heysel Stadium disaster, following which the club was banned
from European competitions for six seasons. Since being readmitted in 1991,
they have qualified for the Champions League (the successor to the European
Cup) eight times and the UEFA Cup (the predecessor to the Europa League) seven
times.
As a result of their victory in
the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final, Liverpool won the European Champion Club Cup trophy outright,
and were awarded a multiple winner badge. Only Real Madrid (nine) and AC Milan
(seven) have won the competition on more occasions. Liverpool's total of three
UEFA Cup wins has been matched only by Internazionale and Juventus. They have
also won the UEFA Super Cup on three occasions, a total only Milan (five) and Barcelona
(four) have bettered.
Bob Paisley is the club's most
successful manager in Europe, with five trophies. Liverpool's biggest - margin
win in Europe is an 11–0 victory over Stomsgodset in the 1974-1975 European Cup
Winner Cup. In European competitions, Jamie Carragher holds the club record for
the most appearances, with 139, and Steven Gerrard is the club's record
goalscorer, with 38 goals.
