Bruce Grobbelaar was Liverpool's goalkeeper in the 1984 European Cup final against AS Roma. His distracting 'jelly-legged' wobbly dance during the penalty shootout helpedpsychologically unsettle Roma's shooters, contributing to Liverpool's victory. Jerzy Dudek was Liverpool's hero in the 2005 final (also doing the wobble dance), while Clemence was a legendary Liverpool keeper from the 1970s.

In the legendary 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul, Steven Gerrard scored Liverpool's first goal in the 54th minute, starting the remarkable comeback from 3-0 down.

Liverpool's European trophy history includes 5 European Cups/Champions League titles (1977, 1978, 1981, 1984, 2005) and multiple Super Cup wins (1977, 1978, 1984, 2001, 2005, 2019). The 2005 Super Cup win was their 3rd trophy of the 2005 calendar year (CL final + Super Cup), or could be counted as their 3rd Super Cup overall depending on interpretation. Options 2nd, 4th, 5th don't fit this sequence.

In the 2007 Champions League semi-final penalty shootout against Chelsea, Dirk Kuyt scored the decisive winning penalty. The shootout went to sudden death after 4-4, with Kuyt converting the final kick to send Liverpool to the Athens final. Gerrard also scored his penalty earlier in the shootout.
