Liverpool Return to the Summit as Klopp Sends Heartfelt Message | OneFootball

Slot’s Reds Crowned Champions at Anfield in Title-Sealing Rout

Liverpool’s return to the Premier League summit came not with a whimper, but a thunderous roar at Anfield. In a season laced with steel, style, and surging belief, Arne Slot’s men delivered a fitting finale, thumping Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 to clinch the 2024/25 title. It was a performance that combined emotional depth with attacking brilliance, and it secured the one point they needed — though they barely settled for that.

Slot’s side fell behind early to Ange Postecoglou’s visitors but roared back in vintage Liverpool fashion, unleashing a ferocious response to seal the title with style in front of a raucous home crowd. The scenes were euphoric, the message emphatic: Liverpool are back on top.

Liverpool Join United in Title Tally

In capturing this crown, Liverpool have now equalled Manchester United’s record of 20 top-flight titles — a symbolic moment in English football history. This isn’t just another league title; it’s a restoration of dominance.

Arne Slot, in his maiden campaign at the helm, becomes only the fifth manager to win the Premier League in their debut season. He joins a select group and, in doing so, honours the legacy of his predecessor, Jurgen Klopp.

Slot Pays Tribute to Klopp

Klopp was the only Liverpool boss before Slot to lift the Premier League trophy. He had bid farewell to Anfield less than a year ago, passing the torch with dignity and affection. In his final game, Klopp welcomed Slot with a song — a gesture now returned with feeling.

“It feels great. I don’t think I want to say a lot. The only thing now is to send my appreciation to Jurgen Klopp,” Slot told LFCTV post-match. Then, in a moment soaked in emotion, he led a chorus of Klopp’s farewell tune — switching the lyrics from ‘Arne Slot’ to ‘Jurgen Klopp’.

Klopp Reacts to Liverpool’s Latest Triumph

From afar, Klopp watched with pride. His foundation, his fingerprints, are still all over this Liverpool team — from the pressing DNA to the passion on the pitch. And he made his joy known, sending a heartfelt message via Instagram:

“Super grateful for the past, super, super happy about the present, extremely positive about the future!”

“Congratulations – YNWA.

“Thank You Luv ❤️”

The German is expected to be in the city for the LFC Foundation’s Gala Ball on 23 May and may well grace Anfield once more when Liverpool face Crystal Palace in their season finale.

It would be a fitting curtain call — not just for this glorious campaign, but for the man who reignited Liverpool’s fire and helped lay the foundations for Slot’s success.
