Arne Slot hailed an unforgettable moment in Liverpool’s history after guiding the club to their 20th English league title. The victory confirmed Liverpool’s first Premier League crown since 2020 and marked a stunning debut season for Slot. The Reds showed no signs of nerves, storming to victory with goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah, alongside an own goal by Destiny Udogie. Even an early strike from Dominic Solanke for Spurs couldn’t dampen the title celebrations. Slot, visibly emotional post-match, emphasized how determined his squad was to lift the trophy in front of their home fans. “It was clear we couldn’t lose this game,” he said. “Everyone on the bus said there’s no way we’re going to lose this game. They always find a way to win.” The 45-year-old expressed pride not only in the players but in the staff and club leadership. “Incredibly proud, not only of the players but the people standing here, sport directors, my staff members. We should give them a big round of applause.” Slot also highlighted how meaningful it was for the supporters to witness the triumph in person, something they missed during the 2020 title win due to the pandemic. “You can feel how important it was for them to be here today,” he added. With four games to spare and just two losses in 34 league matches, Slot’s Liverpool have clinched the title in style.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has admitted that winning the Europa League won’t be enough to make up for a disappointing season. United face Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday night. Asked if lifting the trophy would turn things around, Fernandes said: “I wouldn’t say it’s a reward, I think it will just be successful in terms of the Europa League. It’s very important to do that, to get the silverware this season. But it won’t save anything.” Speaking about their opponents, Fernandes acknowledged the added pressure of playing Bilbao, who would host the final at their San Mamés stadium if they advance. “They have the final at home if they beat us, so it will be really tough. You have to be prepared,” he said.

Salah, who scored one of the five goals on the day, played a pivotal role in the Reds’ dominant campaign. With four games still to play, Liverpool now sit 15 points clear of second-placed Arsenal. Reflecting on the achievement, Salah said the title feels more meaningful than the 2020 success under Jurgen Klopp. “This is way better, 100 percent,” he said. “Without Sadio [Mane], without Jurgen, without Bobby [Firmino], without everybody, it feels more special. We have a different group now, different manager, so to be able to do it again is something special.” The Egyptian forward also acknowledged how important it was for the squad to win the league at home, with fans in the stands. “It is incredible to win this with our fans. I’m glad we won it here,” he said. “Watching the Arsenal-Crystal Palace game on Wednesday, I didn’t want to win it then. I wanted an experience we haven’t had before.” Salah’s goal not only sealed the title party but also propelled him into fifth place in the all-time Premier League scorers list. With his future secured and yet another trophy added to his collection, Salah’s legacy at Liverpool continues to grow. Salah was on the scoresheet at jubilant Anfield as Liverpool coasted to the victory that ensured they moved level with Manchester United as the joint most successful club in English top-flight history. Arne Slot‘s side sit 15 points clear of second-placed Arsenal with just four games left. Salah, whose second half strike took him into fifth place in the all-time Premier League scorers list with 185 goals, said the success compared favourably with the one under Jurgen Klopp in 2020. “This is way better, 100 percent,” the Egypt forward said. “Without Sadio (Mane), without Jurgen, without Bobby (Firmino) – without everybody it feels more special. We have a different group now, different manager, so to be able to do it again is something special.” “It is incredible to win this with our fans. I’m glad we won it here,” he said. “Watching the Arsenal-Crystal Palace game on Wednesday, I didn’t want to win it then. I wanted an experience we haven’t had before.”

Jurgen Klopp has warmly congratulated Liverpool on their record-equalling 20th English top-flight title and expressed optimism about the club’s future under new manager Arne Slot. The German, who led Liverpool to their previous Premier League triumph in 2020, watched on with pride as Slot’s side dismantled Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield to secure the championship with four games to spare. Posting on Instagram, Klopp shared a photo of the celebrations and wrote: “Super grateful for the past, super, super happy about the present, extremely positive about the future! Thank you Luv.” Klopp, who left Liverpool at the end of the 2023–24 season, has been publicly embraced by Slot since his arrival. The Dutchman inherited a squad built largely by Klopp and has consistently praised both the team’s quality and the winning culture the German left behind. “I think that is something not one manager ever did before,” Slot said post-match. “But apart from that, he helped me even more by the team he left behind and the culture he left behind in that team.” Slot also acknowledged the atmosphere Klopp helped cultivate at Liverpool, noting the high standards of professionalism among both players and staff. Now serving as Red Bull’s head of global soccer, Klopp appears content watching from afar, confident that the club he helped rebuild remains in capable hands. His tribute and Slot’s success only reinforce the lasting legacy of Klopp’s transformative era at Anfield.
