What are the famous teams in the Premier League?
The English Premier League is one of the most popular soccer tournaments in the world, with fierce competition and excitement. In particular, the Premier League BIG6 (Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur) attracts the attention of countless fans. These teams are not only competing in the Premier League, but also in Europe and other tournaments to show their strength. So which team is the most successful of the BIG6? Today we’ll take a look at the number of titles!
Tottenham Hotspur: 26 trophies
Tottenham Hotspur have the fewest number of titles in the BIG6, with a total of 26 trophies won so far. While their room of honor isn’t particularly dazzling, they have quite a few achievements to be proud of.
Of those 26 trophies, the most important are the two UEFA Cup titles (formerly known as the European Union Cup) and two English top flight titles. However, Tottenham’s last top-flight title came back in the 1960-61 season, and they have yet to win a league title in the Premier League era. Spurs have also won the FA Cup eight times, the Community Shield seven times and the League Cup four times.
Despite their small number of titles, Tottenham are known for their magnificent and skillful offense, especially in recent years under the leadership of Kane and Son, the team’s performance is remarkable.
Chelsea: 34 trophies
Chelsea’s history can be divided into two stages: before and after Abramovich’s arrival. In the last century, Chelsea was only a strong team in the English soccer world, not among the top giants. However, since the acquisition of the club by Russian tycoon Abu in 2003, the Blues have risen rapidly to become a force to be reckoned with in the world of soccer.
To date, Chelsea have won 34 trophies, including two Champions League titles (2011-12 and 2020-21). They have also done well in the Premier League, winning it a total of six times, including an unprecedented double (2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons). In addition to the league and the Champions League, Chelsea also owns the Club World Cup, the UEFA Cup, the FA Cup and many other honors.
It can be said that Chelsea in the Abu era revolutionized the team’s fortunes and made it an important member of the BIG6.
Manchester City: 43 trophies
The rise of Manchester City is somewhat similar to that of Chelsea, both of which made a qualitative leap because of the injection of gold masters. Since the Middle East consortium took over in 2008, City has gradually grown into a top team in the Premier League and even in European soccer.
Today, City has collected 43 trophies, including a Champions League title (2022-23 season) and 10 English top flight titles. It is worth mentioning that in recent seasons, Manchester City achieved the feat of four consecutive Premier League titles, showing strong dominance.
In addition to this, City have also won the Club World Cup, UEFA Cup, FA Cup and many other awards. Although their history is not as strong as that of Manchester United or Liverpool, with their strong performance in recent years, Manchester City has become the leader of the BIG6.
Arsenal: 47 trophies
As one of the oldest giants in English soccer, Arsenal has been around for over a century and has won 47 trophies in that time. Unfortunately, however, the Gunners have never been able to win the Champions League, which is where they fall a little short of the other giants.
Among these 47 trophies, the most proud of them are the 13 English top league titles. Especially in the coaching period of Arsene Wenger, Arsenal had created the miracle of “undefeated championship” in the 2003-04 season, and this record is still unbreakable. In addition, Arsenal also won the FA Cup 14 times, known as the “King of the FA Cup”.
Although Arsenal’s performance has declined in recent years, with Arteta’s appointment, the team is gradually recovering and the future is still full of hope.
Manchester United: 70 Trophies
Manchester United is undoubtedly one of the most successful clubs in the history of English soccer, with a total of 70 trophies. This brilliant achievement is due to the contribution of legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who led the Red Devils to create one dynasty after another.
Among these trophies are 3 Champions League titles, 20 English top flight titles, and numerous FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield victories. In the Premier League era in particular, United won the title 13 times, a figure that has yet to be surpassed.
In addition to the domestic scene, United have also excelled on the international stage, winning the Club World Cup, Intercontinental Cup and UEFA Cup, among other honors. For Manchester United fans, the Red Devils are not just a team, but a spiritual symbol.
Liverpool: 71 trophies
Last but not least is the team with the most number of titles in the BIG6 – Liverpool! So far, the Reds have won 71 trophies, which puts them at the top of the list.
Among these 71 trophies, the most dazzling is the 6 Champions League titles, which is the most among all EPL teams. Meanwhile, Liverpool has also won 19 English top-flight titles, including 18 Old English League titles and one Premier League title.
Apart from that, Liverpool has also excelled in other tournaments, such as the Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Cup. Whether in the past or present, Liverpool has interpreted what is the real style of the giants with their actions.
Summary: Who is the king of BIG6?
Through the above analysis, we can see that Liverpool is in the first place with 71 trophies, followed by Manchester United in the second place. These two teams are not only the leaders in the EPL BIG6, but also the benchmark of the whole English soccer.
Of course, each team has its own characteristics and charms, such as Arsenal’s beautiful soccer, Manchester City’s modern rise, Chelsea’s iron defense, and Tottenham’s youthful storm. No matter which team you like, their existence makes the Premier League more exciting!
