Liverpool - Champions of England after 3 long decades!

It has been a painful journey to hear all kinds of critics in the past, especially Liverpool's inability to regain momentum as English champions, a recognition that was long buried in the 90's era. Kenny Dalglish was the last scouser to have won the grand prize for the Reds back then. Many stepped in, hereafter, but none managed to carry the club's long buried legacy since 1990, but one man, Jurgen Klopp totally wiped out all critics as he has led Liverpool to become English champions for the 19th time this morning after Manchester City surrendered a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.


When Klopp took charge of Liverpool in 2015, he promised that in four years time, the club would win one title, and guess what, he has delivered as mentioned. Since 2015, under Klopp's supervision, Liverpool went on to win the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and now, the latest addition of becoming English Champions for the 19th time!


Although Liverpool had to wait 30 long years to end the top-flight drought, another notable achievement is that the Reds actually won the title with seven games still remaining in the league, a new Premier League record and in the history of English football. Such dominance is a living evident in the form they've displayed throughout the season and it is truly immensely satisfying seeing Liverpool clinch the title after such a long time.

The team has often been criticised in various occasions, even when Klopp and his team went through to the Champions League final in 2018 and lost it to Real Madrid, but none of those criticism affected the Reds mentality! The just kept on going with high determination and Klopp never failed to believe in his players. Klopp was the kind of coach that any team would dream to have, mainly for the affection, coaching style, the extremely positive chemistry he shares with his players and most importantly, his passion for the game. He is something else and his achievements at the club thus far has shown what class he has been to the club.


All these years, Liverpool have been coached by some really remarkably talented coaches, and it is no doubt that this triumph will be dedicated to all those that have played a huge role in the building up of this club. Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley would be proud of this achievement. As much as it's impressive to watch Liverpool finally win the title, it is equally disappointing not to have the one man which I really wish was part of the success now, Steven Gerrard. Boy oh boy, imagine Stevie G at Liverpool now. The intensity is quite unimaginable and it would truly be explosive, even at the rare thought of it. To become Champions of England once again is definitely something special and it's even more special for Liverpool to have done it with such talents.

Liverpool came close last season but thanks to City's narrow win against the Reds at Etihad, the Citizens emerged winners with just a one-point lead at the end of the season. This time around, it's a whole new scenario, one that not many predicted knowing City's incredibly talented pool of players. With seven games left to play for, Liverpool have drifted far off the title race with a 23-point gap with close rivals, Manchester City. City's defeat at the hands of Chelsea on 26 June in a late evening kick-off, has mathematically proven that the Citizens bid to challenge the Reds finally came to an end.


Klopp praised his players for the outstanding form they've shown this season but the German find it unbelievable that his team has drifted far away from this Manchester City side - a team that he feels is no less of creativity, pace, power and extremely skilful players. He then admits, "That means we've done something really special this season."

Pep showed true class after he commended Liverpool's extremely brilliant performance this season and congratulated the team over the long-awaited title triumph in a post-match interview after his side surrendered a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea.


The players have done a magnificent job ever since Klopp stepped in and went through such a hard-fought transformational period to stand where they are now, majestically!

This is the dawn of a new era and many more successes to come for the club.

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm

There's a golden sky

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone
