			== Inconsistency: Liverpool's Heysel ban described differently in the lead and the History section ==

			The article gives two incompatible accounts of the European ban imposed on Liverpool following the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster.

			The '''lead''' states:

			: "As a result of persistent hooliganism, English teams were banned from European club competitions initially indefinitely, but ultimately for five years, and '''Liverpool for an additional year'''."

			This implies Liverpool's total ban was six years (five years for all English clubs, plus one additional year).

			The '''History section''' states:

			: "English clubs were banned from participating in European competition for five years; '''Liverpool received a ten-year ban, which was later reduced to six years'''."

			This describes a separate ten-year ban on Liverpool that was subsequently reduced to six years — a materially different account of how the six-year figure was arrived at.

			These two passages cannot both be correct: the lead presents Liverpool's punishment as a straightforward one-year extension of the general five-year ban, while the History section presents it as a distinct ten-year ban that was later reduced. The mechanism and the original sentence given to Liverpool are contradictory between the two sections.

Inconsistency: Liverpool's European Cup total described as "four" in Rivalries section but "six" elsewhere: new section

New page

== Inconsistency: Liverpool's European Cup total described as "four" in Rivalries section but "six" elsewhere ==

The article contains two conflicting statements about the number of European Cups Liverpool have won.

The lead and the Honours section both state that Liverpool have won '''six''' European Cups/UEFA Champions League titles (1977, 1978, 1981, 1984, 2005, 2019), and the Honours section caption explicitly reads "The six European Cups Liverpool won from 1977 to 2019".

However, the Rivalries section states:

: "Manchester United became the first English team to win the European Cup in 1968, followed by '''Liverpool's four European Cup victories'''."

This says "four," not six. Even if the sentence were meant to describe only the victories that followed Manchester United's 1968 win, that count would still be six (all of Liverpool's wins came after 1968). The figure "four" is inconsistent with the six wins documented throughout the rest of the article.
