The wait is over. The dream is real.
Liverpool Football Club are Premier League champions once again—20 times champions of England! In a season filled with drama, relentless brilliance, and a seamless transition from the legendary Jürgen Klopp to the brilliant Arne Slot, the Reds have reclaimed their throne in the most emphatic fashion.
A Title Won in Style: Anfield Erupts
Needing just a point to seal the deal, Liverpool didn’t just scrape over the line; they annihilated Tottenham 5-1 in front of a raucous Anfield, delivering a performance worthy of champions. For the first time since 1990, the Kop celebrated a title win in person, erasing the bittersweet memories of the pandemic-hit 2020 triumph.
The day began with a brief scare; former Red Dominic Solanke headed Spurs into an early lead, sending a momentary hush through Anfield. But this Liverpool side, brimming with resilience, responded like true champions. Luis Díaz leveled after a VAR check, before Alexis Mac Allister smashed in a thunderbolt to put the Reds ahead. Cody Gakpo added a third before halftime, turning the game into a procession.
The second half was a red wave of celebration. Mohamed Salah—the heartbeat of this title charge—swept home Liverpool’s fourth before Destiny Udogie’s own goal capped off a ruthless display. The Egyptian even paused to take a selfie with a fan’s phone, immortalizing the moment in true Salah fashion.
At the final whistle, Anfield exploded.
Red smoke filled the air, players embraced, and Arne Slot, the unassuming Dutchman who stepped into Klopp’s giant shadow, stood proudly in the center circle - a Premier League winner in his debut season.
Slot’s Instant Impact: The Impossible Job Made Easy
When Klopp announced his departure, many feared the end of an era. But Slot, the cool-headed tactician from Feyenoord, didn’t just steady the ship—he elevated it.
- First Liverpool manager to win 11 of his first 12 games.
- A 26-game unbeaten league run after an early blip against Nottingham Forest.
- Topped the table since November 2nd and never looked back.
Slot’s secret? Trusting the squad Klopp built.
With just one summer signing (Federico Chiesa, barely used), he unlocked the potential of Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, and an evergreen Salah, who finished with 28 league goals and 18 assists.
And in a classy touch, Slot immediately paid tribute to Klopp post-match, singing his predecessor’s song to the fans. "I’m 99.9% sure Jurgen has already texted me," he grinned.
Salah, Van Dijk, and the Mentality Monsters
This title was built on mentality.
Virgil van Dijk, the first non-British captain to lift the title for Liverpool, embodied leadership.
Salah, amid contract uncertainty, delivered one of his greatest seasons. "This one feels more special," he admitted, comparing it to 2020.
Andy Robertson, now a two-time Premier League winner, summed it up: "Nothing compares to celebrating with the fans."
Even the looming departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold (potentially to Real Madrid) couldn’t derail this team’s focus.
Back on our perch - Now for number 21?
For years, Liverpool has chased their relinquished record of 20 titles. Now, they stand side by side and with Slot’s project just beginning, the future looks even brighter.
"Next season will be harder," warned Salah. But as the red flares lit up Merseyside, one thing was clear: Liverpool are back where they belong—on top of English football.
The trophy parade on May 26th will be a cathartic release—a chance to celebrate properly after the empty streets of 2020. For now, let the scenes sink in: Anfield bouncing, Slot smiling, and Liverpool—20-time champions.
