LIVERPOOL’S TITLE-WINNING IMPACT

Liverpool recently lifted the Premier League trophy and finished on par with the competition with only four games to spare. Arne Slot, in his first season as manager, relied heavily on the likes of Van Dijk, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, and Salah. Salah was the standout footballer as he topped both the goals and assists charts and grabbed his third PFA Player of the Year award. New signing Milos Kerkez impressed for Bournemouth with five assists and two goals before earning his move to Liverpool. He made the league’s best XI on the back of his eye-catching form for the south coast club.

LOOKING AHEAD: NEXT MATCHES AND THE SEASON CONTEXT

Liverpool’s prolific 20th title puts them on par with Manchester United in trophies won. Arsenal finished second, only ten points behind Liverpool. Newcastle United, represented by Alexander Isak, will compete in the Champions League next season. Following their impressive 4-2 victory over Bournemouth in their first match of the season, Liverpool kicked off their Premier League campaign brightly and now aim to continue their success under new management during this rebuilding phase.
