30 years of hurt finally over for Liverpool FC

Liverpool ended their 30-year wait to rule English football’s top-tier after Manchester City failed to get the win they needed to prolong the season at Chelsea. Goals from Christian Pulisic and Willian were enough for a 2-1 win over the reigning champions, with Kevin de Bruyne’s free kick being scant consolation. The result sparked emotional scenes across Liverpool, Merseyside, and the wider world, as the Reds wrapped up the title with seven games remaining – a Premier League record – in a tumultuous season that once threatened not to even be completed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For anyone unsure of what this means after three decades of frustration, you need only see the video Liverpool put out on the final whistle. The man who has masterminded the whole club evolution over the past four years, was understandably emotional… An emotional Jurgen Klopp ❤️pic.twitter.com/lObXYnXtYU— Sport360° (@Sport360) June 25, 2020 While the players were still able to gather to celebrate an astonishing achievement Championssss!!!! 🏆🔴 #YNWA pic.twitter.com/uqcEenccRR— Trent Alexander-Arnold (@trentaa98) June 26, 2020 Club captain Jordan Henderson had a very simple message for fans… And now you’re gonna believe us...... ❤️ pic.twitter.com/rKwseNvmZR— Jordan Henderson (@JHenderson) June 25, 2020 Kenny Dalglish was the last Liverpool boss to win the top flight, there wasn’t a dry eye after seeing this 🙌A moment to savour for an emotional Kenny Dalglish as the final whistle blows and Liverpool are champions! 🏆 pic.twitter.com/uVtJABkOec— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) June 25, 2020 Meanwhile former skipper Steven Gerrard was quick to congratulate his boyhood club View this post on Instagram Congratulations to all @liverpoolfc on winning the premier league .
