Salah and his teammates celebrate the championship. |
However, fans of the "Red Brigade" still have to wait before witnessing the captain lift the prestigious trophy right on the legendary field. The reason is related to the long-standing tradition of the tournament and the regulations of organizing the award ceremony.
According to Premier League tradition, the champions are only awarded the trophy after their final home game of the season. Although Liverpool have already won the title with four games remaining, they will have to wait until May 25, when they face Crystal Palace at Anfield, to officially receive their well-deserved prize.
The tournament will confirm the timing and format of the ceremony once all details have been agreed with the clubs.
If the title race goes down to the final day and the deciding game is played away from home, the winner will not receive the trophy immediately. In Liverpool’s case this year, they were fortunate to have their coronation ceremony at Anfield with a large crowd of fans present, unlike in 2020 when Jordan Henderson and his teammates had to lift the trophy in an empty stadium due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Following the trophy presentation, Liverpool are planning to hold a parade through the streets of the city to celebrate with their fans. Further details of the event will be announced by the Merseyside club in due course.
It is also unclear whether Liverpool's remaining opponents will carry out the traditional "guard of honour" to welcome the champions.
This is not a rule, but a sign of respect in the football world. Arsenal, Liverpool's opponents on 11 May, will have the opportunity to show this courtesy, similar to how they welcomed Manchester United in 2013. Chelsea, Liverpool's next opponents, also lined up to welcome champions United in 2007.
