Liverpool finished the league season as runners-up to Manchester City, to whom they suffered their only league defeat, scoring 97 points, the then third-highest total in the history of the English top division and the most points scored by a team without winning the title. They remained unbeaten at home in the league for the second season in a row and matched the club record of 30 league wins in a season.[1][2] In the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool reached the final for the second consecutive year after producing an improbable 4–0 comeback win over Barcelona to overturn their 3–0 first leg advantage.[3] In the final, Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2–0 to secure the club's sixth win in the competition.[4] However, success eluded Liverpool in domestic cup competitions as they exited both the FA Cup and EFL Cup in the third round.[5][6]
