When Jürgen Klopp announced he'd be leaving Anfield next season and unveiled his successor, Arne Slot, few could have imagined Liverpool would walk alone this time in the title race.
For the red half of Merseyside, the celebrations for this title could last for days, making up for the subdued festivities of 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. After the title was secured, Slot said:
I'm very, very happy, of course, but to a certain extent, it also feels unreal.
Another reason for the jubilant scenes is that Liverpool has overtaken their arch-rivals, Manchester United, in the total title count. Imagine the scenes in pubs across Merseyside! For years, Liverpool fans have had to endure the taunts of their United-supporting friends.
Now, they have bragging rights of their own. The Northwest derby now stands at a thrilling 20-20! And you can bet online sportsbooks are already offering odds on which team will pull ahead next season. This parity adds extra spice to an already fierce rivalry, promising even more intense clashes in the seasons to come.
Recipe For The Title: An Italian Espresso Blend
Federico Chiesa was the sole addition to the squad. While not a key player in the title win, you could call him a lucky charm.
While Liverpool's rivals were dropping points, the Reds, thanks to stalwarts Mohamed Salah (28 goals, 16 assists), Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson Becker, maintained their dominance.
The cherry on top was the match against Tottenham, a dominant 5-1 victory that showcased Liverpool's attacking prowess.
Life is Life
Both Klopp and Slot ended their seasons to the soundtrack of "Life is Life". Jürgen Klopp closed last season, Arne Slot closed this one, and as Liverpool fans would say, life is just getting better!
And with the promise of new talent and fresh strategies under Slot, new betting sites are already buzzing with odds on Liverpool's chances next season. The future looks bright, both on and off the pitch!
