It has been another emotional week for Liverpool. The trophy lift on Sunday and the parade on Monday were incredible moments for the football club, before the city was stunned by events that
followed on Water Street afterwards. The scenes at Anfield and across the city streets were special for Liverpool supporters, who finally got to see their team lift the Premier League title
in person. In this week's fan jury, our writers look back at some of the key moments in a glorious campaign and what it felt like to experience the trophy lift in person at Anfield.
JAMES NOBLE Within a weekend in which Liverpool’s strength of spirit again came to the fore, Sunday fulfilled dreams. Virgil van Dijk lifting the Premier League trophy at a full Anfield was
a moment 35 years in the making. Alan Hansen fittingly presenting the trophy, and the presence of so many other legendary figures, reinforced the day’s eternal nature. Preceded by that
classy double guard of honour, the draw with Crystal Palace neatly reflected key components of the Reds’ campaign, too. I’ll almost always start a season believing that Liverpool can win the
league, but I can’t say I expected 2024/25 to produce a title. Third place felt a reasonable expectation. Arne Slot soon had optimism on the up as he took the reins from Jürgen Klopp with
assurance and positivity. Evolution offered continuity and freshness, with Ryan Gravenberch a serene revelation in his new No.6 role. Liverpool moved with efficient consistency as Arsenal
and Manchester City stumbled. The statement Old Trafford triumph. The strong response to the Nottingham Forest defeat. The comeback win against Brighton. Darwin Nunez’s late double at
Brentford. The five league games, and 11 points, in 15 February days. So many crucial foundations for the subsequently blissful spring days. That Tottenham game, that final whistle –
spine-tingling. A season dreamed of for so long. The most exciting part may yet be what it leads to. RHYS BUCHANAN It’s been a beautiful yet strange last month or so with all of the peril
removed from our collective shoulders. Following the explosive celebrations at Spurs in April, the party has rolled up and down the country, culminating in the joyous scenes we saw inside
the ground and around the city across the weekend. All of our expectations for this campaign were always tempered and realistic in the wake of Klopp’s departure, though I think even early on
in the season, Slot’s clinical and calm presence did shift them slightly. The manager made a lot of tough decisions early on and constantly tweaked the formula to win us games. He certainly
laid down some early statements as well, even his discontent with the Forest defeat showed just how high his expectations for this team were. I also think the leaders within our squad
Virgil, Salah and even the likes of Robertson can take credit for just how smooth this transition has been. I could barely see the trophy lift through the flames, red smoke and confetti from
my seat in the lower Anfield Road on Sunday, but it was absolutely everything I’d dreamt of for a lifetime and more.
