For Mohamed Salah, this year’s title holds even more meaning than ending the 30-year drought.
The final whistle had barely blown before Salah broke into celebrations with his teammates, dancing and singing in joy. Coach Arne Slot soon joined them, all of them wearing jerseys that read “Champions 2024-25.” At one point, Salah went over to the stands to take photos with the fans. Speaking after the match, the Egyptian striker said winning the title felt even more special because of the supporters’ presence.
Anfield was a sea of red on Sunday. The “All Red” faithful were full of excitement, knowing that Liverpool only needed a single point against Tottenham Hotspur to reclaim the Premier League crown.
But Liverpool did more than just scrape by — they put on a dominant display, thrashing Tottenham 5-1 and sealing the title with four matches to spare.
Liverpool had long dominated English football, but after the First Division was rebranded as the Premier League, the club endured a painful title drought. That ended in the 2019-20 season when, under Jürgen Klopp, they finally lifted the Premier League trophy.
Salah was part of that title-winning squad five years ago. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had to celebrate in an empty stadium with no fans to share the moment.
This time, surrounded by thousands of passionate supporters, Salah experienced a completely different kind of joy. Speaking to Sky Sports, he described just how much it meant:
“Winning the title with the fans is an unbelievable feeling. Compared to last time (in 2020), this one feels 100% better, especially because the fans were there. We are a different team now, and it’s something special to show that we can do it again.”
Salah also found the net against Tottenham, scoring his 28th league goal of the season. That strike made history: he now holds the record for most Premier League goals by a foreign player, surpassing Manchester City legend Sergio Agüero (184 goals) with a new total of 185.
Salah also spoke about his relationship with new manager Arne Slot, who replaced Klopp last June and delivered the Premier League title in his debut season:
“He’s very honest. The Dutch are quite strict, but he made our lives easier. I’m very happy to have won the league title here at Anfield.”
