- I'm talking about Domestic competition - I thought you would've known that - clearly, I was wrong
- Yes Liverpool have won it 6 times to Barca's 5, however if you look at the more recent history since both teams started winning it, Barcelona have a higher percentage
- Yes, Liverpool beat Barcelona 4 - 0 - thank you for telling the story of one half... it has 2 halves, you know the one where Barca beat Liverpool 3-0 in the first half? The final scoreline of the tie was 4-3
also Barcelona won most of their titles when it was harder to do so, Liverpool fans should be embarrassed by only winning 6 times and not bring it up ever
they won the tournament because they were able to beat shit teams sometimes, here is a sample of 2 of their wins to see what im talking about
1976/77: 1st Round vs Crusaders (Northern Ireland), Home 2-0, Away 5-0 (punished the side from Northern Ireland)
2nd Round vs Trabzonspur (Turkey), Away 0-1, Home 3-0 (blew away the Turkish side inside 10 minutes, so all you need to do to make QF is beat a Turkish team)
QF vs Saint Etienne (France), Away 0-1, Home 3-1 (need an 84th minute goal but ok they were 9 times French champions by this point)
SF vs Zurich (Switzerland), Away 3-1, Home 3-0 (beat a swiss team in the semi final)
Final vs Gladbach (Germany), Win 3-1 (yay, they won the tournament, level of difficulty 2/10)
1977/78: 1st Round vs Bye (Bye Bye Land) Home 0-0, Away 0-0, (Liverpool advance by forfeit because opposition didn't show up to play)
2nd Round vs Dresden (East Germany) Home 5-1, Away 1-2 (Liverpool beat East German team)
QF vs Benfica (Portugal) Away 2-1, Home 4-1 (Liverpool beat the non Eusebio version of Benfica)
SF vs Gladbach (Germany) Away 1-2, Home 3-0 (Liverpool defeat Gladbach again)
Final vs Club Brugge (Belgium) Win 1-0 (Dalglish wins the game against Belgium at Wembley, Level of difficulty 4/10)
so they won 2 of the titles because they managed to beat gladbach a couple of times basically, my theory is if anyone like aston villa or nottinham forrest were able to play in this version of the tournament then they could also do this
now here are some of their failures
1973/74: 1st Round vs Jeunesse Esch (Luxembourg) Away 1-1, Home 2-0 (beat a nothing team)
2nd Round vs Red Star Belgrade (Yugoslavia) Away 1-2, Home 1-2 (embarrassing to lose against a team that were only playing for an extra sandwich allocation)
1978/79: 1st Round vs Nottingham Forrest (England) Away 0-2, Home 0-0 (cant pass the first test, maybe they would prefer to play a team from Luxembourg again)
1979/80: 1st Round vs Dinamo Tbilisi (Georgia) Home 2-1, Away 0-3 (wtf, the great Liverpool 80's team got pumped in Georgia)
1981/82: 1st Round vs QPS (Finland) Away 1-0, Home 7-0 (beat QPS from finland)
2nd Round vs AZ (Netherlands) Away 2-2, Home 3-2 (needed 85th minute winner)
QF: vs CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria) Home 1-0, Away 0-2 (fucked up again against low opposition)
1982/83: 1st Round vs Dundalk (Ireland) Away 4-1, Home 1-0 (crushed the mighty Dundalk)
2nd Round vs HJK Helsinki (Finland) Away 0-1, Home 5-0 (at least they know how to always beat fin teams)
QF vs Widzew Lodz (Poland) Away 0-2, Home 3-2 (lolz they got beaten by Lodz, this is terrible stuff)
