It is Liverpool’s 19th top-flight title and their first since 1989-90.
The Reds needed one victory to seal the league following their 4-0 win against Crystal Palace on Wednesday. However, City’s defeat against Chelsea means they cannot catch Liverpool anymore.
Having won the Champions League and the Premier League, Jurgen Klopp is still looking for more. He has warned Liverpool’s rivals that they will remain hungry to add more silverware in the following years.
