Six Champions League titles.

19 English championships.

In addition, there are seven national FA and three international Europa League trophies, which were once called the UEFA Cup: there is hardly any other club museum in the world that has as many trophies on display as Liverpool FC's.

This year, however, German coach Jürgen Klopp and his team can do something that none of the countless club legends, from Bill Shankly to Kenny Dalglish, have been able to do since the club was founded on March 15, 1892: win four titles in just one season.

The Champions League semifinals at FC Villarreal this Tuesday (9 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the Champions League and on Amazon Prime) is the next hurdle on this path.

After the one-sided 2-0 win in the first leg, it doesn't seem to be that high anymore.

At least not as high as winning a possible final against Real Madrid or Manchester City, overtaking the Cityzens in the last four Premier League matchdays or winning the English Cup final against Chelsea.

Nevertheless, Klopp warned against Villarreal on Monday ("They will give everything they have").

The big challenge is also constantly jumping from one competition to the next.

"I'm not smart enough to try two things at the same time," he said: Focusing on the next game and looking forward to the prospect of multiple titles.

"We've improved with him every year"

"It's a good situation for us.

But the number of games we still have to play is very high.

With or without the Champions League final: It's a lot for us.

So it's better if we win every game, because otherwise it could be difficult.” The LFC won the final of the English League Cup against Chelsea at the end of February.

To appreciate the value of Klopp's work, look back to his first day at Liverpool in October 2015. “Please give us time to work.

But I think: If I'm sitting here in four years, maybe we'll have a title," said the coach at his first press conference.

The 54-year-old took over the club in tenth place in the Premier League.

Since then, the following have been added: the 2018 Champions League final, the 2019 Champions League win, the 2020 English Championship and the Club World Cup in the same year.

"We've improved with him every year," said England international Trent Alexander-Arnold on Monday in Villarreal.

"In February I said: We'll win at least one trophy this year.

But if we keep winning, we'll get our hands on a lot more."

Klopp's merit for building a team that has demonstrated self-image and stability at the highest level over the years is not to be weighed up in titles alone.

Since his first full season in 2016/17, he has averaged more than 83 points per season with Liverpool in the world's strongest league.

FC Bayern Munich was unable to maintain its high level after the 2020 Champions League success.

Klopp's current team, on the other hand, seems to be even stronger than in the 2019 Champions League triumph.

One reason for this is the player who moved from Bayern to Liverpool two years ago: Thiago Alcantara.

The Spaniard is one of the few playmakers who is equally world-class as a ball chaser and ball distributor.

The people of Munich were missing someone like him when they lost their teeth at Villarreal in the quarter-finals.

For the Reds, he was the best man in the first leg against the reigning Europa League winners.

"Thiago is in a form where not only would he play for any national team in the world, but he would show exceptional performances for any team," Klopp said on Monday.

But Thiago is already 31 years old, as is captain Jordan Henderson.

Defense chief Virgil van Dijk is already 30, and star striker Mo Salah is about to.

Jürgen Klopp will have to rebuild his successful team over the next few years - no matter how many titles he wins this year.

But he still has the necessary time: after the first leg against Villarreal, he extended his contract until 2026.
