1967–68 Liverpool F.C. season
Liverpool F.C. did not win any major trophies for the second season in a row. Despite top scorer Roger Hunt rediscovering his mojo, it finished three points behind champions Manchester City, while arch rivals Manchester United beat Liverpool to the honour of being the first English club to win the European Cup, adding salt to the wounds of another disappointing season.
