LIVERPOOL BELIEVED THEY COULD WIN THE PREMIERE LEAGUE
Liverpool’s conquest of the Premier League marks their second victory in five years and occurred during Arne Slot’s inaugural season after taking over from Jurgen Klopp; the Reds matched Manchester United’s prestigious record of 20 top-tier titles.
As Arne Slot stated, he “always had faith” that they could clinch the Premier League, even though they commenced the season as third picks after Manchester City and Arsenal. The Reds triumphed in securing their second Premier League accolade, and the first in five years, with an electrifying 5-1 conquest over Tottenham at Anfield on Super Sunday, allowing them to race ahead of the second-placed Gunners with four matches remaining.
Reflecting on his unexpected title-winning debut in the Premier League, Slot shared that an underlying belief had always existed within the club that success was attainable.
“For the whole season we were on top of the league but you also know how hard the Premier League is,” he said. “The belief for us to win it was here throughout the season.”
“It’s difficult to put into words. You can feel how important it was for the fans to be here. We always come back, we always find a way to win. I don’t think we could have lost today.
“Our main focus was to win this game, if you are a part of it you still feel the pressure of getting the points over the line.”
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk hailed his side as the “truly deserved” champions of England.
“It’s special and it’s something that we don’t take for granted. It’s amazing,” the defender told Sky Sports as he and his team-mates celebrated on the pitch.
“A lot of emotions before the game, during the whole week, but we got the job done and we (are) truly deserved champions of England.
“(Liverpool is) the most beautiful club in the world and I think we deserve all of this. Let’s enjoy the next couple of weeks and let it sink in.”
