The Best Images From Liverpool’s Premier League Title Celebrations

After 30 years of hurt, Liverpool fans finally saw the reality of the image that some had been dreaming of for decades.

Manchester City’s 2-1 defeat at Chelsea at the end of June confirmed the Reds as Premier League champions for the first time and although their stuttering form post-title confirmation meant they weren’t able to break the Citizens’ 100-point single-season record, there’s no doubting Jurgen Klopp’s ruthless machine will go down as one of the finest outfits in memory.

Following an enthralling 5-3 victory over Frank Lampard’s Blues on Wednesday night, in their final home game of an unforgettable campaign, a hobbling Jordan Henderson was finally able to get his hands on the Premier League trophy and raise the silverware aloft – it’s a lift he’s been practising after Champions League and Club World Cup successes in 2019.

It was some show put on by the Premier League to ensure the occasion felt as special as possible in unprecedented circumstances with no fans inside the ground. Players and staff strolled up to the podium one-by-one as Kanye West’s belting ‘All of the Lights’ playing harmoniously in the background. Certainly a tune fitting of the occasion.

After the trophy was typically handed around every pair of hands following Henderson’s emphatic lift, players made their way down to the Anfield turf to continue their celebrations.

Georginio Wijnaldum – Liverpool’s third goalscorer in the Chelsea victory which now feels like a distant memory – meanwhile, was one of the stars of the celebrations as he aired the Reds’ coronation live on his Instagram to which over 200,000 people joined for a taste of the Dutchman’s close-up perspective.

Before he broadcasted the scenes live, however, there was time for a swift selfie with Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish alongside the majestic piece of silverware.

Don’t even question those shades either…

And Salah’s red hair…

As the party ensued on-field with different factions of the Liverpool squad ensuring they got a quick snap together with the trophy, the players eventually gathered together for an emotional but celebratory rendition of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ – akin to the scenes following their miraculous 4-0 triumph over Barcelona in last season’s Champions League semi-final.

Liverpool fans, meanwhile, gathered outside Anfield in defiance of advice handed out by the club and, of course, government guidelines to enjoy a party of their own.
