 Borussia Dortmund in the European Cup Winners' Cup final.

 Liverpool won both the League and


the UEFA Cup during the 1972–73 season, and the FA Cup again a year later. Shankly retired soon afterwards and was replaced by his assistant, Bob Paisley. In 1976, Paisley's
second season as manager, the club won another League and UEFA Cup double. The following season, the club retained the
League title and won the European Cup for the first time, but it lost in the 1977 FA Cup Final. Liverpool retained the European Cup in 1978 and regained the First Division title in 1979. During
Paisley's nine seasons as manager Liverpool won 20 trophies, including three European Cups, a UEFA Cup, six League titles
and three consecutive League Cups ; the only domestic trophy he did not win was the FA Cup.

Paisley retired in 1983 and was replaced by his assistant, Joe Fagan.Liverpool won the League,
League Cup and European Cup in Fagan's first season, becoming the first English side to win three trophies in a
season. Liverpool reached the European Cup final again in 1985, against Juventus at the Heysel Stadium. Before kick-off,
Liverpool fans breached a fence which separated the two groups of supporters, and charged the Juventus fans. The resulting weight of people caused a retaining
wall to collapse, killing 39 fans, mostly Italians. The incident became known as the  Heysel Stadium disaster
. The match was played in spite of
protests by both managers, and Liverpool lost 1–0 to Juventus. As a result of the tragedy, English clubs were banned from participating in European competition
for five years; Liverpool received a ten-year ban, which was later reduced to six years. Fourteen Liverpool fans received convictions for involuntary
manslaughter.
The Hillsborough memorial, which is engraved with the names of the 96 people who died in the 
Hillsborough disaster .

Fagan had announced his retirement just before the disaster and Kenny Dalglish was
appointed as player-manager. During his tenure, the club won another three league titles and two FA Cups,
including a League and Cup "Double" in the 1985–86 season. Liverpool's success was overshadowed by the Hillsborough disaster: in an FA Cup semi-final
against 
Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989, hundreds of Liverpool fans were crushed against perimeter fencing. Ninety-four fans died that day; the 95th
victim died in hospital from his injuries four days later and the 96th died nearly four years later, without regaining
consciousness. After the Hillsborough disaster there was a government review of stadium safety. The resulting Taylor
Report  paved the way for legislation that required top-division teams to have all-seater stadiums. The report ruled that the main reason for the disaster was overcrowding due to a failure of police control.

Liverpool was involved in the closest finish to a league season during the 1988–89 season.
Liverpool finished equal with Arsenal on both points and goal difference, but lost the title on
total goals scored when Arsenal scored the final goal in the last minute of the season.
Dalglish cited the Hillsborough disaster and its repercussions as the reason for his resignation
in 1991; he was replaced by former player Graeme
