Congratulations to @LFC. No team has won the Premier League so early in the season. No team has won the Premier League so late in the year. A wonderful achievement by a magnificent team. True champions. Well played. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Deserved champions
Liverpool finished just a point behind Manchester City last season, and this campaign they will end up at least 23 points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s side.
Klopp’s team have lost just once in the league this season, and have won 28 times.
Liverpool play some wonderful football, but the Reds are also pragmatic when they need to be and do not shy away from grinding out results.
It is indeed a remarkable achievement from the Reds, and the Anfield faithful will be in dreamland now after tasting league success after 30 long years.
