The number of crowns tied with Manchester United. How high is Liverpool's historical status in the "20 Championship"?

Liverpool has made a leap from 0 to 1 in the Premier League, and has been waiting for 30 years; from 1 to 2, they have not let fans wait too long.

In the early morning of April 28, Beijing time, the "Red Army" Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at home, winning the 2024-2025 Premier League championship four rounds ahead of schedule, and also had 20 top league championships with the "Red Devils" Manchester United. These two football "time-honored brands" are also tied for the club with the largest number of champions in the English Football League system.

18 of Liverpool's 20 championships were won before 1992. That year, the English top league was reorganized and established as the Premier League.

At that time, Manchester United won seven championships, while Liverpool won 18. The reign of the "Red Army" occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, and won 11 championships from 1973 to 1990.

Manchester United's 13 Premier League champions were created by Sir Ferguson - the first season to win the championship was in 1993, and the 13th season was his last season to coach 20 years later.

In 2002, Manchester United had seven Premier League championship trophys, but after being overwhelmed by Arsenal with a 10-point advantage, Ferguson seemed to be under tremendous pressure.

When asked by reporters if this was the biggest challenge he faced, the famous Scottish coach replied: "My biggest challenge is not what is happening now, but pulling Liverpool off their (swearing) throne. You can write this sentence out."

Seven years later, Manchester United tied Liverpool's 18 league championship records. They took the lead in 2011, and when Ferguson retired, United had two more titles.

Since then, the "Red Devils" have never won the Premier League championship again, and their rankings have even dropped to the second half of the standings this season.

Liverpool won the Premier League championship trophy for the first time in June 2020, locking their 19th league title - their 30-year wait was slightly delayed for well-known reasons.

Slott and his ex, "Uncle Slag" Klopp, have a mutual understanding. After winning the championship, Slot said in an interview: "The only thing I want to express at this moment is the gratitude to Klopp." A year ago, when Klopp said goodbye to Anfield, he said: "I love everything about this club. It feels more like a beginning, not an end." Poster source: BBC Sports X official account

This year, under the leadership of Dutchman Arne Slott, they achieved success and went hand in hand with Manchester United. After completing his Premier League season debut with the "Peak Beginning" Slott took a solid step on the road to becoming a famous coach.

It is worth mentioning that Slot won the championship in his first season and became the sixth person in Premier League history. The top five famous coaches who achieved this achievement are: Mourinho (Chelsea), Ancelotti (Chelsea), Pellegrini (Manchester City), Ranieri (Leicester City), and Conte (Chelsea).

At the beginning of the last century, Aston Villa was the overlord of English football. They won five league titles in seven years before Liverpool won the league championship for the first time in 1901.

Liverpool's arch-rival Everton in Merseyside won their first league title ten years ago.

The 1930s were a brilliant decade for Arsenal, with five of their 13 championships winning during this period. Since winning the championship with an unbeaten record in the 2003-2004 season, the Gunners' championship record has never improved. Manchester City, ranked fourth, is now close to the heels. They won the Premier League championship in six in seven years, with 10 titles, ahead of Everton (9), Aston Villa (7), Chelsea (6), Sunderland (6), Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesday (all 4).

Although Liverpool and Manchester United are far ahead of other teams in England, they still have a long way to go before they can replicate Scotland's "time-old brand". The Celtics beat Dundee United last Saturday, bringing their league titles to the Glasgow Rangers, with 55 each.
