Anfield continued to play host to Liverpool’s Premier League title celebrations long after fans had departed the ground following the Reds’ thumping 5-1 win over Tottenham. 

Arne Slot’s men reveled in their success on Sunday night, as family and friends joined to toast the Reds after clinching the club’s record-equaling 20th top-flight crown. 

The league leaders came into Sunday’s clash knowing that a draw would see them confirmed as champions and after quickly recovering from Spurs’ shock opener, the side cruised to a commanding victory. 

Several of his stars offered a glimpse into their celebrations, with the likes of Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Darwin Nunez all relishing the moment. The latter, who was a late substitute in the win over Spurs, posed for a series of photos alongside his partner Lorena Manas. 

Manas, who shares a son with the forward, linked up with other partners of Reds stars ahead of the event. She could be seen alongside the wife of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, Natalia Loewe, Diogo Jota’s partner Rute Cardosa and Luis Diaz’s partner Gera Ponce.

Elsewhere, Dominik Szoboszlai, who enjoyed another productive afternoon on the pitch, was joined by his agent, former Hungarian footballer Matyas Esterhazy. 

‘Champions of England, just a few can sing that,’ he wrote in the caption which accompanied his photo with the midfielder on Instagram. 

Earlier, Trent Alexander-Arnold had been seen leading the wild celebrations as Liverpool partied long until the night after winning the title.

Alexander-Arnold and his jubilant team-mates danced around the dressing room while singing ‘Freed From Desire’, and non-alcoholic beer flowed. The whole squad were also kitted out in special ‘Champions 24/25’ home jerseys.

The video was posted to the defender’s 2.7m followers on X.

The final whistle saw the players rush onto the pitch to begin the festivities and Arne Slot was soaked in champagne after addressing the crowd and leading a tribute song to Jurgen Klopp, who stepped down from his role at the end of last season.

Alexander-Arnold is said to be close to joining Real Madrid this summer and reports in the Spanish capital suggest the club are confident of closing the deal. However, the full back was front and centre in the celebrations after his boyhood club’s success.

At one point, he was snapped in conversation with Liverpool owner John W Henry in front of the dugouts, leading social media users to urge him to ‘get his wallet out’.

Gakpo, one of the goalscorers on Sunday even spoke on the issue, saying that he hoped Alexander-Arnold will follow Van Dijk and Salah in comitting to the club. 

Now with Mo [Salah] and Virgil [Van Dijk] staying, and hopefully Trent as well, they can keep building,’ said the Dutchman.

It was a seemingly casual remark, but one that Liverpool fans will cling to as a sign that talks are still ongoing behind the scenes and that Alexander-Arnold could yet commit to a new deal.

Meanwhile, a beaming Mohamed Salah posed for another celebration selfie with supporters after being passed a phone from the crowd during the game.

There was a poignant pause to the madness on the field when the entire squad and backroom team joined arms, side by side, and were serenaded as the Kop sang ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. Captain Virgil van Dijk was unable to hold back the tears.

With the night still young, the players returned to their dressing room and posed for a squad photo while Florence & The Machine blared out from the speakers.

Keen to let the team have their moment, Slot’s coaching staff gathered around the sides of the group while the likes of Salah and Curtis Jones enjoyed the limelight.

Harvey Elliott was also in the thick of it as he shared a selfie with Caoimhin Kelleher and Tyler Morton on his Instagram story and wrote: ‘Let’s goooooooooo’.

Salah insisted this season’s title party was ‘way better’ compared to the Covid-affected 2019-20 campaign, saying: ‘Without Sadio [Mane], without Jurgen, without Bobby [Firmino] – without everybody it feels more special.

‘We have a different group now, different manager. To be able to do it again is something special.’ 

Slot later lifted the lid on his own plans – and revealed how many beers he will drink. 

‘The only moment I was emotional today was when we arrived at the stadium,’ he said. ‘You could see what it meant for the people. Everyone inside the bus felt a responsibility. It was impossible for us to lose this game of football.’

He then added: ‘I will probably celebrate with a glass of beer or two, or three.’

Anfield was a cauldron of noise throughout the raucous 90 minutes and the atmosphere reached fever pitch outside of the ground, too.

Thousands of supporters packed the streets while others scaled the railings by the Kop, waved scarves from the rooftops and even climbed onto a passing Greggs van to get the best view of the red sea which stretched all the way down Anfield Road.

In some places, thick clouds of red smoke prevented people from seeing further than just a few metres in front of them, as the festivities stretched long into the evening.

‘It’s special and it’s something that we don’t take for granted. It’s amazing,’ Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk told Sky Sports as he and his team-mates celebrated on the pitch.

‘A lot of emotions before the game, during the whole week, but we got the job done and we (are) truly deserved champions of England.

‘(Liverpool is) the most beautiful club in the world and I think we deserve all of this. Let’s enjoy the next couple of weeks and let it sink in.’
