After clinching the Premier League title with a commanding 5–1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on April 27, 2025, the Reds concluded their season with a 1–1 draw against Crystal Palace. The final match was highlighted by Mohamed Salah’s late equalizer, marking his 47th goal involvement of the season and tying a longstanding record.
The post-match ceremony at Anfield was a poignant moment, especially for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who made his final appearance before his transfer to Real Madrid. Having joined Liverpool’s academy at the age of six, Alexander-Arnold’s emotional farewell was met with heartfelt applause from the fans, acknowledging his 21-year association with the club.
Unlike the 2020 title win, which occurred during the COVID-19 lockdown, this victory allowed for full fan participation. Anfield was filled to capacity as supporters joined the players in celebrating the long-awaited triumph. The atmosphere was electric, with chants of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” echoing throughout the stadium.
The celebrations extended beyond the stadium with a 15-kilometer open-top bus parade through Liverpool on May 26, 2025. The parade route, reminiscent of previous celebrations in 2019 and 2022, was lined with jubilant fans. Notably, former manager Jürgen Klopp, who missed the 2020 celebrations due to pandemic restrictions, attended the event as a fan, adding to the day’s significance.
Under the leadership of new manager Arne Slot, who secured the title in his debut season, Liverpool is poised for a promising future. Slot’s immediate success has invigorated the club, and plans are already underway for the upcoming season, including potential signings to bolster the squad.
As Liverpool basks in the glory of their 20th league title, the unity between the club, its players, and the fans has never been stronger. The celebrations not only honored the present achievement but also paid tribute to the club’s rich history and the promising path ahead.
