'A moment 35 years in the making, this was Anfield's day of destiny'

Liverpool's long wait ended as the clock at Anfield showed 18:24 BST.

Tottenham Hotspur had been defeated, and Liverpool were now Premier League champions. This victory also meant they equaled Manchester United's total of 20 titles.

As Liverpool's team coach arrived, red smoke filled the air. Banners and scarves proclaimed: "The Most Successful Club In England."

This moment was 35 years in the making.

Liverpool celebrated a title win in their own stadium, in front of the Kop. Their last such joy came on April 28, 1990, under Sir Kenny Dalglish.

Jurgen Klopp led them to the Premier League title in 2020. However, that celebration took place at Formby Golf Club due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The release of emotion at the final whistle had been building for hours. Fireworks exploded behind the Kop as tears flowed from players and fans alike.

Head coach Arne Slot made succeeding Klopp look easy. It had been 343 days since Klopp’s farewell at Anfield.

He sang a song for his successor during that farewell. The tune echoed around Anfield during this match as Slot paid tribute to Klopp.

Captain Virgil van Dijk praised Slot’s achievement. He said replacing Jurgen was a big job and Slot deserved credit.

Hours before kickoff, Anfield buzzed with excitement. Thousands of supporters lined up to enter the stadium early.

Liverpool owner John W. Henry attended this special occasion. Tickets reportedly sold for £3,000 on the black market.

Neil Atkinson from Anfield Wrap felt like he was going to a wedding. Abigail Rudkin compared it to Christmas morning.

She emphasized how important it was for fans to be together at Anfield.

This win against Spurs marked a step toward realizing their prize. After correcting an early goal by Dominic Solanke, it became party time.

Mohamed Salah celebrated his fourth goal by taking a selfie with the Kop behind him. Fans sang old title-winning songs as they watched Liverpool dominate Spurs.

Slot brought a measured approach while maintaining Liverpool's attacking style. He added value with his tactical skills and focused on game events rather than fan demands.

After four extra minutes were announced, he blew kisses to his family and applauded fans. Then he embraced opposing manager Ange Postecoglou before gathering his staff.

When celebrations began on the pitch, players rushed towards the Kop excitedly. Slot donned a red shirt and joined in their celebrations with fist pumps reminiscent of Klopp’s style.

Individual players took their bows amid cheers from fans. Trent Alexander-Arnold's future may be uncertain, but Sunday was all about Liverpool’s triumph.

Slot reflected on the day’s joy during an interview afterward. He noted how much winning meant to everyone involved with the club.

He concluded by saying it felt unbelievable to be part of Liverpool's history now.
