Liverpool officially most successful club as Manchester United trophies compared

Liverpool have further cemented their place as the undisputed most successful team in English football history following their Carabao Cup final win over Chelsea.

Jurgen Klopp’s side claimed a dramatic 11-10 penalty shootout win over Chelsea in the first domestic cup final of the season after the game finished 0-0 at Wembley.

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 Carabao Cup at Wembley - there can now be no debate about who reigns supreme in English club football.

A total of 49 major trophies have made their way back to Anfield, with the Reds still fighting on three other fronts this season.
