Liverpool win Premier League title – live reaction

“It’s difficult to put into words,” says Arne Slot, straining even to hear himself over the raucous home fans. “You can see what’s happening here; before the game already.

He praises the character of his players, the hard work of his staff and also the squad and setup that Jürgen Klopp left behind him. “It maybe helps a bit that City had a difficult spell that they haven’t had for five years,” he adds, modestly. Klopp would likely agree.
