They were crowned European champion for the fifth time in 2005 when they beat Milan after being down for half the game.

Some of their greatest rivalries include Manchester United and Everton. Unfortunately, the Liverpool Football Club has been touched by tragedy a couple of times in their long careers. In 1985 fans were pressed into a collapsing wall at Heysel Stadium. The incident killed thirty-nine people. Once this happened English clubs were banned from European competition for five years. In 1989, ninety-six fans died when they were crushed against the fence around the perimeter. Despite these horrible events, the team has persevered.

Everton Football Club

Everton Football Club is also in Liverpool, England. In 1878, they were formed and joined the league in 1888. The football club was founded at St. Domingo's for the purpose of the parish of their Methodist Church having the option to play a different sport when they weren't playing cricket in the summer. They were changed to the Everton Football Club from the Church Club because people outside of the parish wanted to play. When the first game was played as the EFC, the players carried the goalposts and marked out the lines. There is no record of the men that played only that they won six to nothing. Everton won its first cup in 1884 and the trophy was given to then Club President John Houlding. They have won the league championship nine times and have stayed in the top division for one hundred and fourteen seasons. The Everton team was also affected by the tragedy that happened to Liverpool in 1985 and were banned from the European competition along with Liverpool. They didn't let it keep them down and eventually got back to competing and winning games.
