Jurgen Klopp took to social media to admit Liverpool’s Premier League title triumph had left him feeling “super, super happy”.

Arne Slot became the first Dutch manager to lift the trophy after leading Liverpool to the top of the standings in his first season at the helm at Anfield, having replaced Klopp last summer following the German’s decision to step down.

It was Liverpool’s 20th top-flight title and comes five years after Klopp led the Reds to their first Premier League honours five years ago.

Reflecting on Liverpool’s latest triumph, Klopp wrote on Instagram: “Super grateful for the past, super, super happy about the present, extremely positive about the future!

“Congratulations – YNWA. Thank You Luv.”

As Klopp bid farewell to the Anfield crowd last season, he encouraged those in attendance to serenade his successor, and Slot made sure to return the favour during his title celebrations. The current boss was asked why he felt the need to do so after the game.

“Because of what he did when I arrived here, before I even arrived here,” Slot said. “I think that is something not one manager ever did before.

“So that is what definitely helped me. But apart from that, he helped me even more by the team he left behind and the culture he left behind in that team.

“The quality the players have was, I think, obvious for everyone [to see]. But the culture of hard work, not only from the players, but also from the staff members, has been incredible. And that is one of the reasons we could achieve what we’ve achieved this season.”
