My Liverpool: A Season of Challenges and Determination for the Reds

Introduction: Why My Liverpool Matters to Millions

For supporters worldwide, the phrase ‘my Liverpool’ encapsulates more than just a football club—it represents passion, history, and unwavering loyalty. Founded in 1892, Liverpool FC are one of the best supported and successful football clubs in the world. The 2025–26 season is Liverpool Football Club’s 134th season in their history and their 64th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. As the defending Premier League champions enter December 2025, the Reds face a critical period that tests their resolve and ambitions.

Current Season Challenges

Liverpool’s Premier League season suffered another setback as they came from behind to draw 1-1 against high-flying Sunderland at Anfield. This recent result highlights the challenges facing manager Arne Slot’s side as they defend their title. The match saw Chemsdine Talbi get the ball on the edge of the box after a loose pass from Virgil van Dijk before Liverpool salvaged a point late in the game.

The season has been marked by significant change. This is the first season since 2015–16 without Trent Alexander-Arnold, the first since 2020–21 without Luis Díaz, the first since 2021-22 without Darwin Núñez and the first since 2019–20 without Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident on 3 July 2025. The club honoured Jota’s memory by retiring his number 20 shirt across all levels.

Record-Breaking Moments

Despite challenges, the season has featured remarkable achievements. On 1 September 2025, Liverpool signed Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for £125,000,000, breaking the British transfer fee record. Additionally, Rio Ngumoha scored a 100th-minute winner against Newcastle United in the Premier League, becoming the club’s youngest ever goalscorer at 16 years and 361 days. These moments showcase the club’s commitment to both immediate success and future development.

Looking Ahead

As Liverpool navigate this challenging period, fans remain steadfast in their support. The upcoming fixtures against Leeds United and other rivals will prove crucial in determining whether the Reds can maintain their championship credentials. For every supporter who says ‘my Liverpool’, the club’s rich heritage and determination offer hope that better results lie ahead, continuing a legacy that spans over 130 years of footballing excellence.
