Liverpool FC Crowned 2024/25 Premier League Champions

Liverpool Football Club has reclaimed the English Premier League (EPL) title, securing their 20th top-flight championship and drawing level with Manchester United for the most in English football history. The Reds clinched the 2024/25 title with a commanding performance against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, marking a triumphant debut season for head coach Arne Slot.

The victory, celebrated with a vibrant display from the Anfield faithful, shows Liverpool’s dominance throughout the campaign. A first-half onslaught against Spurs saw goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah, who sealed the 4-0 rout with a goal that sparked wild celebrations, including a selfie with a fan’s phone. The result confirmed Liverpool’s championship with games to spare, a testament to their consistency and resilience under Slot’s leadership.

Arne Slot, who succeeded the legendary Jürgen Klopp last summer, has silenced doubters with a near-flawless campaign. The Dutch tactician, previously at Feyenoord, implemented a data-driven approach, emphasizing high-intensity play and tactical tweaks that revitalized the squad. Former Liverpool goalkeeper Sander Westerveld noted Slot’s meticulous preparation, highlighting how he used data from the 2019/20 title-winning season to restore the team’s edge.

Slot’s impact was evident in Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League and their commanding Premier League form, finishing four points ahead of their nearest rivals with a game in hand by Christmas. His connection with fans, exemplified by his bond with seven-year-old supporter Isaac Kearney, has further endeared him to the Kop, who now chant his name as “Arne’s Slot Machine.”

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s talismanic forward, was instrumental in the title triumph, delivering what many consider his finest individual season. The 32-year-old Egyptian scored 28 goals and provided 18 assists in 34 Premier League appearances, leading both the goal and assist charts. His 185 career Premier League goals place him fifth on the all-time scorers list, surpassing Sergio Aguero, while his 86 assists rank him alongside David Beckham.

Salah’s season was littered with records. He became the first player to record double figures in goals and assists before Christmas and the first to score and assist 40 or more goals in two different Premier League seasons. His 25 goals and 15 assists in 2024/25 made him the first player to achieve this milestone in a single season, cementing his case for the Ballon d’Or, as former teammate Daniel Sturridge argued.

Despite speculation over his future due to an expiring contract, Salah signed a new two-year deal, ensuring his continued presence at Anfield. While Salah’s brilliance shone brightest, Liverpool’s success was a collective triumph. Captain Virgil van Dijk, who also signed a new contract, provided defensive solidity and leadership, lifting the trophy as the club’s heart. Cody Gakpo contributed 17 goals across all competitions, while Ryan Gravenberch and Luis Diaz thrived under Slot’s system.

However, the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid looms as a challenge for next season. Slot is reportedly eyeing reinforcements, with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez linked to the club.

The Anfield atmosphere was electric, with supporters lining the streets hours before kickoff to greet their heroes. The title, Liverpool’s second in six years, carries extra weight as it matches Manchester United’s record, a milestone celebrated across Merseyside.

As the Reds prepare to lift the trophy on May 25 against Crystal Palace, the sense of pride is palpable. Slot’s men have not only restored Liverpool’s place at the pinnacle of English football but have set the stage for further glory in the Champions League and beyond.

You’ll Never Walk Alone.
