Jurgen Klopp has finally spoken out following the official announcement of Liverpool as Premier League champions.
The Reds decisively defeated Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday, clinching their 20th title in English top-flight football.
Arne Slot’s team fell behind due to a header from Dominic Solanke, but Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, and Cody Gakpo turned the match around before halftime, creating a celebratory atmosphere in Merseyside with just one point required to secure the championship.
Mohamed Salah added his usual goal, and Destiny Udogie inadvertently scored an own goal, leading the hosts to a resounding victory.
It’s the first time the Anfield faithful have been able to celebrate a Premier League title inside the ground as Klopp and his dominant 2019/20 champions were forced to have a behind-closed-doors gathering due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After leaving the club last summer, the German has now had his say on the success of his old team.

“Super grateful for the past. Super, super happy about the present. Extremely positive for the future!”Congratulations – YNWA. Thank you Luv.”
