Liverpool won the Premier League in style, and Arne Slot argues that high standards won’t allow any let-down next season. The Reds defeated Tottenham 5-1 on Sunday, therefore gaining four games ahead of Arsenal from a noisy Anfield.
Having won their second Premier League title, Liverpool now boasts 20 English top-flight trophies, equal with fierce competitors Manchester United. Few expected Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp in June, would win the title in his first season.
While Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal battled, Liverpool started quickly and lost just two league games this season. Following Sunday’s final whistle, thousands of supporters of the team celebrated their victory by singing and throwing pyrotechnics outside Anfield hours later.
The memory of their 2020 title, taken behind closed doors under Covid restrictions, intensified the feeling. Having acclimated into life at Anfield, Arne Slot declared he had goals for the next season and could easily inspire his team to produce more medals.
Though we are not alone, our squad has great chances of winning. Given the presence of multiple great teams, competing in the Champions League and league is demanding. Notwithstanding a League Cup final loss to Newcastle and Champions League departure to PSG, Liverpool’s season concluded with great marks.
After months of Premier League leadership, the well-publicized defeats felt like an anti-climax. Top-scorer Mohamed Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk, England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold’s fate were yet unknown.
Although Alexander-Arnold is still connected to Real Madrid, Salah and Van Dijk have signed fresh contracts to provide the club consistency. Arne Slot said the Premier League came first always.
