Anfield Road, April 28, 1990. Liverpool stands with its legends. John Barnes and Jan Raš in their iconic red jerseys, alongside Kenny Dalglish, celebrated the club’s 18th title in England with a victory against Queens Park Rangers from the bench.

Anfield Road, April 27, 2025. If the Reds secure at least a point against Tottenham today (17:30 p.m.), they will achieve the crown in front of their home fans for the first time since then.

It was hard to envision this moment 35 years ago, when Liverpool clinched their 10th title in 15 seasons. The long wait for a Premier League trophy didn’t end until 2020, when the team led by Jürgen Klopp celebrated their long-awaited 19th title, although they had to do so in front of empty stands due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Reflecting on the 1990 match, it’s clear we should have celebrated longer, but back then, winning titles was expected—it felt normal. My advice to today’s players is to relish every moment when the celebrations begin,” remarked the legendary goalscorer Rush.

The architect behind the 2020 title victory, Jürgen Klopp, departed from Liverpool last season, and just as no one foresaw a three-decade gap before a new championship celebration in 1990, there were few who expected Arne Slott to make winning the title so seamless in his first season in the Premier League.

The Dutch coach arrived quietly, accepting limited reinforcements like Federico Chiesa, yet he has enhanced the squad originally put together by Klopp. If today marks the official championship moment, he will soon join the ranks of the coaching icons of this esteemed club.

“Firstly, we have a significant responsibility ahead. We understand that the last championship was won during the pandemic, so everyone is eagerly anticipating Sunday. However, we realize the job isn’t finished yet; we still need a point. We have a thrilling game ahead, coupled with substantial responsibility,” Slott emphasized.

The dominance Liverpool has achieved is highlighted by their record of 24 wins, seven draws, and only two losses to this point… Liverpool is primed for a celebration; they truly deserve a grand party.
