In Wembley…We Won Them 5 Times!
In securing our record 8th League Cup win at Wembley via spot-kicks versus Cardiff, Liverpool confirmed themselves as the undisputed penalty kings of English football.
The Reds have now won 5 major trophies from the dreaded shoot-outs, holding our nerves in two European Cup finals, one FA Cup final and now two League Cup finals – comfortably a record for English clubs and possibly Europe according to FIFA.com.
However, taking a global view of teams who’ve won the most major trophies via penalties sees Argentine giants Boca Juniors just pipping the Reds, with 6 victories.
The boys from La Bombonera winning 3 Copa Libertadores (’77, ’00, ’01), the Copa Sudamericana in ’05, the Supercopa Sudamericana in’89, as well as the Intercontinental Cup back in ’03.
Still, ‘We’ve Won Them 5 Times!’

For goodness’ sake, eat some food. Diets like the one you’re describing may result in temporary weight loss, but the key word is temporary, because no one can live the rest of their lives subsisting on nothing but liquids, fruit, and vegetables. Sooner or later you’re going to get hungry and eat some complex carbohydrates (and there’s nothing wrong with carbs! They’re an essential source of energy!), and you’ll gain the weight back.
