Anfield was a roaring cauldron of red that had waited 35 years to celebrate a league title in the flesh. Liverpool’s 5-1 demolition of Tottenham Hotspur sealed their 20th English top-flight crown, drawing level with rivals Manchester United.
Arne Slot‘s Red machine clinched the Premier League with four games to spare, sparking celebrations that were as heartfelt as they were chaotic. Here are the highlights from Liverpool’s unforgettable title party –
Salah’s Selfie
The Kop was already rocking when Mohamed Salah scored the fourth goal in the 64th minute and making it 4-1. Then something amazing happened. Salah spotted a fan’s phone in the crowd and ran to the Kop End. With a huge smile, he grabbed it and took a selfie with thousands of cheering fans behind him. The photo, later posted on Salah’s Instagram, got over 1,000,000 likes.
Nunez Makes Dumb Mistake
The Anfield pitch turned into a wild party when the final whistle blew. Players threw on special “Champions 24/25” shirts, some wearing them backward to show off the title name.
In the middle of it all, Darwin Nunez caused a stir. Holding a bottle of champagne, he poured it over Mohamed Salah, even though Salah, a Muslim, kept saying “No, no!” because he doesn’t drink. Nunez, caught up in the excitement, didn’t stop, leaving Salah soaked but laughing it off. The video went viral online. A fan on X called it “Nah this guy is actually so dumb” as a joke, while others thought Nunez didn’t mean any harm.
Luckily, the club had brought in non-alcoholic champagne out of respect for Muslim players, so no harm done.
Mac Allister Opens Healed Wounds
The team’s mix of players from all over the world added to the fun. Alexis Mac Allister, the Argentine midfielder who scored a cracking goal, decided to tease his teammate Ibrahima Konate.
Knowing France and Argentina have a big football rivalry—especially after their 2022 World Cup final—Mac Allister wrapped an Argentina flag around Konate’s neck.
The French defender, always smiling, went along with it, chuckling as the flag hung around him.
Arne Slot Shouts Out Jurgen Klopp
Arne Slot, the man who led Liverpool to this title, made sure to honor Jürgen Klopp, the manager who set the stage for this win. Last season, Klopp had sung Slot’s name during his goodbye to Anfield. Now, Slot grabbed the mic after the game and started a chant of “Jürgen Klopp,” sending the crowd into a frenzy.
“I am 99.9 per cent sure that if I pick up my phone, there will be a message from Jurgen,” Slot said later on BBC MOTD. It wasn’t just a thank-you to Klopp’s nine years at the club—it was a way to connect the past with the present. For Slot, the first Liverpool boss to win the league in his first season, it was a classy move that made fans love him even more.
John Henry and Trent’s Mystery Chat
While everyone was celebrating, one moment got fans talking. Liverpool owner John Henry was seen having a chat with Trent Alexander-Arnold, the local star whose contract is running out.
With rumors flying about Trent possibly joining Real Madrid for free next summer, fans wondered what was up. Was Henry trying to convince the right-back, who’s been key to Slot’s plans, to stay? Trent, who looked hard to read during the “You’ll Never Walk Alone” singalong, didn’t give anything away.
With a trophy parade set for May 26 and the Premier League trophy to be lifted after the last home game against Crystal Palace on May 25, the fun’s not over. Arne Slot, maybe sipping a beer or two, promised a “big party,” but for Liverpool fans, this is a dream come true after 35 years.
