“This video shows what Chelsea’s and Liverpool’s year was like” or “This video shows what Chelsea’s and Liverpool’s year were like” or “This video shows what Chelsea’s and Liverpool’s years were like”?
I would say "This video shows what Chelsea's and Liverpool's years were like".
When you have 2 possessive nouns that do not share ownership, you add the apostrophe + s after both nouns and the verb is plural.
When the nouns share ownership, you add the apostrophe + s after the last noun and the verb is singular. For example: Mary and John's restaurant is booming.
I hope this helps!
