Liverpool Secures 2024-25 Premier League Title, Arne Slot Reflects on Win
The 2024-25 Premier League title race saw Liverpool clinch their 20th top-flight title, finishing the season with a 12-point lead over nearest challengers Arsenal. Liverpool head coach Arne Slot, who took over from Jurgen Klopp, expressed pride in winning the title despite some challenges and emphasized that excuses are for teams that don't win the league.
Slot discussed the team's success in overcoming various perceived obstacles such as not spending or bringing in new players, arguing that such excuses are only useful for teams that don't win the league. He compared his experience at Liverpool to his time at Feyenoord, where he won the Eredivisie in 2023 despite an overhaul of his team.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta lamented the impact of red cards and injuries on their title bid, while Manchester City's struggles have been attributed to injuries to key players. Slot responded to Arteta's comments, disputing the notion that teams must be in "the right place at the right time" to win the Premier League title. He argued that in a long season, the best team typically wins the league.
When asked about Trent Alexander-Arnold's reception after confirming his departure from Liverpool, Slot expressed hope that fans would give him a positive send-off. He also discussed the upcoming open-top bus parade to celebrate winning the title and his hope to cherish the moment for the rest of his life.
