Liverpool and Manchester United are known for holding some of the best records in English football.
These records are often good and display the two side’s domination over the structure of football in England.
For Liverpool, one of their best records is their record for the most amount of consecutive top-flight league wins which currently stands at 18, a record which is shared with Manchester City.
For the Red Devils, one of their best recent records is the record for the most amount of consecutive games without a defeat away from home which stands at 29.
But, sometimes, the records that are held by teams are bad and “unwanted”.
One of these records is the amount of times a team has finished as the runner up in the FA Community Shield.

The FA Community Shield is a yearly match which is played just before the start of the new season.
It sees the winner of the Premier League and FA Cup face off in a match for a shield.
If a side has won both the Premier League and FA Cup, then the side that finished second in the Premier League will face off against the side who finished first.
Today, Liverpool and Crystal Palace faced off in this year’s edition of the Community Shield.
Following an enthralling game that ended in a 2-2 score-line, the match went to penalties.
During the shootout, former Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson stepped up to be the hero.

The Englishman saved two penalties as Palace won the Community Shield, to add to their FA Cup victory earlier in the year.
Crystal Palace’s triumph means that Liverpool have now finished as runners up in the competition on nine occasions, one behind United’s ten times.
With Liverpool looking likely to be competitive in the upcoming season, we may see this unwanted record finally broken in the near future.
