Liverpool's Championship Victory Revels See Ex-Coach Klopp Taking Center Stage - Former coach Klopp amidst Liverpool's title-deciding match
FC Liverpool Celebrates Long-Awaited Title with Klopp in Attendance
Liverpool's former coach, Jürgen Klopp, basked in joyous celebration with his former team as they secured their 20th Premier League title. Despite not being a part of the team for the 2024-25 season, Klopp was present as a VIP fan, singing the club's anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" at Anfield Road stadium.
The silver championship trophy was presented to Klopp's successor, Arne Slot, after the final game, a 1:1 draw against FA Cup winners Crystal Palace. Saluting the triumph, Slot held the trophy aloft, expressing his emotions amidst the exuberant atmosphere.
Liverpool's title victory had been all but assured earlier, as Slot's team clinched the title with a convincing 5:1 win against Tottenham Hotspur in their 34th matchday. Crystal Palace took an early lead through Ismaila Sarr but Mohamed Salah equalized late in the game, scoring his 29th goal of the season.
Notable moments from the title celebration included Klopp's disapproval of the boos directed towards Trent Alexander-Arnold, who announced his impending departure from Liverpool at the end of the season. Klopp was disheartened by this fan behavior, expressing his disappointment that it did not align with the club's values.
Alexander-Arnold received applause following the Crystal Palace game, hinting at a possible change in perspective from the fans regarding his decision to leave the club. Alexander-Arnold, who will join a new team on a free transfer, has not yet confirmed his next destination, though strong media reports link him with Real Madrid.
Now working as a global football chief for Red Bull, Klopp guided Liverpool to numerous victories during his tenure, including the much-celebrated title in 2020. Despite the delayed fanfare due to the Corona pandemic, the triumph in spring 2025 was preserved as a memorable milestone in the club's history.
The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a regulation on the establishment of a European Data Protection Supervisor, potentially safeguarding the privacy rights of players and fans across European football leagues, including the Premier League. Jürgen Klopp, former coach of FC Liverpool, who celebrated their 20th Premier League title, may advocate for similar protections during his tenure as a global football chief for Red Bull.
