Already champions, but when will Liverpool lift the trophy?

TPO - With a 5-1 victory over Tottenham, Liverpool was officially crowned champions 4 rounds early. However, Arne Slot and his team have not yet lifted the trophy, but will have to wait.

Goalkeeper Alisson fell to his knees in tears after the final whistle against Tottenham, while captain Virgil van Dijk held his head in his hands, then opened his arms to the screaming fans in the Anfield stands. Liverpool had a night to remember, beating the visitors from London 5-1 to officially become the 2024/25 Premier League champions.

However, the trophy has not been awarded yet. Traditionally, if a club is crowned champions a few rounds before the end of the season, they will be awarded the Premier League trophy in their final home game of the season. This also requires agreement between the club and the tournament organisers.

So, it is likely that Liverpool will celebrate with the championship trophy on May 25, when the match against Crystal Palace at Anfield ends. This is also the last match of the season.

Salah celebrates with fans after winning the championship.

On that day, it will be a very different atmosphere compared to the last time Liverpool were crowned champions. Remember the 2019/20 season, although officially crowned champions on June 26, it was not until July 23, in the final home match against Chelsea, that The Kop received the trophy.

However, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, captain Jordan Henderson and his players lifted the trophy without fans in attendance. Instead, it was the players' families, club staff and a small number of people allowed into Anfield.

This time, with the 20th championship, there will certainly be a big celebration at Anfield. Not only that, a plan to parade around the city by bus has also been prepared.
