We only lost two league games this season - our best record since 1987-88 when we also lost twice That season we drew 12 games but still won the title by nine points from Manchester United.
We became the first team ever to lose only two games in a season and not go on to win the league. Chelsea in 2007-08, 2006-07 and Nottingham Forest 1978-79 were all runners-up having lost three games
Liverpool ended Chelsea's 86-match unbeaten home record with a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
We recorded the club's first league ‘double’ over Chelsea for 19 years.
A Yossi Benayoun goal ensured we became only the second English team to win in the Bernabeu.
And at Anfield we inflicted upon Real Madrid their biggest ever Champions League defeat as we went goal crazy with a 4-0 win.
Overall we sent Madrid crashing to their heaviest two-legged European defeat in the knockout stages for 20 years.
We recorded our biggest win at Old Trafford for 72 years. It was also the first time four Liverpool players had scored at United in the same game.
Rafael Benitez broke Bill Shankly’s record of 65 European matches as Liverpool manager.
The boss also broke Bob Paisley’s record of 40 European wins.
Rafa recorded his 100th league win as manager in his 181st game. It was the 3rd quickest ever by a Liverpool manager and 50 games faster than Alex Ferguson.
Liverpool have lost only six league games in total in the last two seasons. Manchester United have lost nine. Arsenal have also lost nine and Chelsea eight.
Liverpool finished the season as leading scorers in the Premier League. They scored 77 compared to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, who all scored 68.
The Reds boast the highest goals per game average of any team in all four divisions in England (1.93 goals per game) and will finish the season as such unless one of the following happens – Manchester United score nine in the Champions League Final or Chelsea score six
