Well that was the case for Reds supporters back in March 2023, after Liverpool thrashed Man United 7-0 at Anfield.

In what is one of the most iconic results in Liverpool history, Jurgen Klopp’s side managed to put a sensational seven past Man United, with six of those coming in the second half.

7-0 thrashings aside, the 2022/23 campaign was a rather unforgettable campaign for Liverpool, as Klopp’s side slipped below their regularly high standards.

Having spent the majority of the season outside of the top four, Liverpool were actually being outperformed by their arch rivals, as United impressed under Erik ten Haag.

“I’m not nervous.

Honestly, do you know, this bunch are tough.”

Those claims would of course go on to age like milk, as Klopp’s side dominated United – sparking an iconic photo between Neville and Reds legend Jamie Carragher.

Winning any game 7-0 is a huge result, but to do that to one of your biggest rivals is simply unprecedented.

That is something that was felt by then Liverpool boss, Klopp – who told reporters in December 2023, that the game was a ‘once in a lifetime’ result.

“If it helps anyone for the next game it is the team who lost 7-0 and not the team who won 7-0.

“If you take it all out of consideration and just play a football game against the historical rival of Liverpool at home at Anfield that itself must make it a special game and that’s what I want to see from us, a special game.”

Liverpool’s success against United has been mixed since that iconic night, however, winning one, drawing three and losing one.
