Slot pays tribute to Klopp

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot paid homage to predecessor Jurgen Klopp immediately after they were crowned champions for the second time in the Premier League. Slot led Liverpool to glory in his first season in charge, with a record-equalling 20th title in the top flight confirmed following a 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. And the Dutchman was quick to express his gratitude to Klopp for the squad that he bequeathed.

It is Liverpools first Premier League title since 2019/20, however the stands were empty due to the COVID-19 restrictions and Slot was determined his side would not disappoint in front of an expectant and packed Anfield, especially after ex-Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke put Spurs ahead.
