Liverpool have knocked Manchester United off their perch as England's most successful club for major domestic and European trophies.
The Reds ended their 30-year league title drought on Thursday when they were crowned Premier League champions after Manchester City lost 2-1 to Chelsea.
While Liverpool's 19th title still leaves them one shy of United's tally, they now hold a bigger trophy haul over their English rivals.
Along with their league title successes, Liverpool have won seven FA Cups, eight League Cups, six European Cups and three 'other' European trophies.
Liverpool's 43-trophy haul puts them one clear of Manchester United, who have won fewer League Cups and European Cups.
