Liverpool continue the celebrations after winning the Premier League title with jubilant scenes extending from Anfield to around the city this evening despite rain throughout the day.
The champions’ victory lap concludes weeks after securing the title against Spurs and Mohamed Salah’s strike ensured a draw against Crystal Palace to round off a historic campaign.
It has not only been scenes of jubilation though, with an element of sadness for Trent Alexander-Arnold, despite being cheered on Sunday, as the right-back bids farewell to the club after 20 years, with a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer expected to follow in the coming days.
And the future looks bright, too, with the Reds plotting a big summer in the transfer market, after strong links with Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz to bolster Arne Slot’s attack.

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold on final game:
18:30 , Mike Jones"I didn't know what to expect stepping out at Anfield after what had happened a few weeks ago. I wanted to play for the club one more time and he [Arne Slot] trusted me to play. To get the reception I got means more than anything.
"I've played hundreds of games for the club but I've never felt so loved and cared for.
"There wasn't a day, minute, second that I didn't think about the team. Twenty years is a very long time time but I've loved every single minute of it. The ups and the downs.
"It's been an honour and privilege to be part of. I'll remember this day. It's very special for me. It goes down as the best day of my life."

17:30 , Jack Rathborn"It's by far the No. 1 moment in my career, beyond what you can expect and dream of, it's unbelievable, you cannot imagine what you see over here,” says Arne Slot.
“Of course, I've won a few things before, beautiful, but this is... You cannot compare it with anything. Look them in the eyes, it's just what it feels to them.
“You can't hardly imagine there are more citizens of Liverpool over there, there are so many people, you expect a few, but it's beyond my dreams."

17:15 , Jack Rathborn“Today is unbelievable, to celebrate with the fans, on the bus with the lads, it’s just incredible, we deserve it,” Federico Chiesa says.
“Thanks to the coaches and staff, we truly deserve to celebrate with the fans.
“Well actually I never won a championship, for the European one, it was madness.
“The song, I have to thank the fans, I didn’t play much this year, but to receive the love back, the song, I’m so proud of the team, when I first came here, they try to make me part of the team, supporting me even during the tough time.
“I’m a team-mate, one of the boys, even if I didn’t play much, in training I try to do my best.”

17:03 , Jack Rathborn"Trying to take it in, it's just amazing, so many people, it's mental, a dream to be on the bus,” says Caoimhin Kelleher.
“Everyone on the team is really close, that’s the best thing, we’re enjoying it together, that’s how it should be.
“It’s been a long season, we’ve put a lot of work into this.”
And then it’s put to the Reds goalkeeper he is responsible for more flights coming over from Ireland to experience Anfield, he concludes: “We’re not done yet!”
Harvey Elliott explains why Liverpool success is so special
16:55 , Jack Rathborn“Just a little, mid-way through the game, a food top up, then we’ll be ready,” says Harvey Elliott atop the Liverpool bus, while snacking on crisps.
“The support is unbelievable, we’ve got a long way to go now, just keep on enjoying it.
“It’s always hard, we try take the time to interact with the fans, it’ll last them a lifetime. We try to do that, it’s not just about us, it’s the whole city and the club.
“You need to just see this, we worked so hard for this, everyone involved from the training ground to the people who work at Anfield. It’s not just the players. All as one, times like this, not just for us, everyone involved, it’s memories of a lifetime.”

“The togetherness is great, as long as you’re fighting for each other, that’s the joy!”
Sipke Hulshoff adds: “The best outcome of a first year, but what John said, the happiness, you see it in the stadium against Tottenham, it’s nicer than the prize, it makes me very happy.
“It’s the most important thing, it’s our job, good feeling to the game and coming back home, tell their wives and friends, ‘we play good football’ and aggressive football, you get this!
“Look at him, sometimes we look each other in the eyes and say, ‘this is unbelievable!’ If we can do this in one year, we’ll be prepared for next year, can it be bigger? I hope so!”
Curtis Jones: 'This is the best city in the world'
16:05 , Jack RathbornCurtis Jones says on top of the bus: “The best city in the world, just look at it.”
Kostas Tsimikas replies: "I understand it mate.”
And Dominik Szoboszlai says: “I'm feeling very good, hopefully next season the same!”
And Jones concludes: “It’s my second one, but this feels more special, I played a bigger role in this, it's good to enjoy it with the staff, players and fans, the city is red!”

Slot's record season
14:50 , Mike JonesLiverpool’s title win comes in Arne Slot’s first season in English football – he is only the fifth manager to lift the Premier League trophy in his first season in England.
He is the fourth manager to win the English top-flight title in his first season as Liverpool manager, after Matt McQueen (1922-23), Joe Fagan (1983-84), and Kenny Dalglish (1985-86).
Liverpool mastered the succession plan but Premier League glory revealed a key lesson for rivals
14:40 , Miguel DelaneySo, that’s the 2024-25 Premier League final table set and locked into the records… a scenario that carries much more weight than that basic description might sound. The “imminent” outcome of the Manchester City hearing didn’t arrive, so its repercussions - whatever they might be - will not be felt until next season.
It remains remarkable we’re still waiting, although it consequently fits with a largely drab season that often felt like it was being drawn out. Even the brief civil war from City’s APT case petered out, the emotions put aside until “the big one”, as Liverpool cantered to their 20th top-flight title.
England’s most successful club winning ’20’ will be the main legacy of the 2024-25 season, to go with the sensational bottoming-out of the other record-holders: Manchester United.

Celebratory atmosphere building in Liverpool
14:30 , Mike JonesThe atmosphere of celebration is building across the city as the Liverpool trophy parade is about to begin.
Arne Slot and his players will travel across Liverpool on an open top buss with the Premier League trophy in tow and celebrate their achievement with the fans.
Arne Slot reveals bold ambition to match Jurgen Klopp in one key area
14:20 , Mike JonesArne Slot has already proved to be Jurgen Klopp’s successor in more ways than one. As Liverpool manager and as the only ones since 1990 to win the title. He may in another, too. Slot will welcome his predecessor back to Anfield this weekend to witness the Dutchman's Liverpool lift the trophy. Slot may yet emulate Klopp in a very different respect.
Klopp lasted eight-and-a-half years at Anfield. Slot is completing the first of an initial three-season deal but at a club where winning the title or the Champions League confers a status that can bring longevity. He has begun to imagine a similarly lengthy reign.

Liverpool end-of-season awards
14:10 , Jack RathbornMore awards from Mellor and McAllister then, how about moment of the season?
Both agree: The win over Spurs to clinch the title.
Performance? A bit different here, the interpretation clashes between team and player: Mellor goes for the second half against Leverkusen and McAllister says Conor Bradley against Real Madrid.
Surprise? Mellor opts for the transition since Jurgen Klopp departed, while his disappointment, if there is one, was the Man United home game.
Shearer on Salah's season
14:00 , Mike JonesAlan Shearer spoke about the impact of Mo Salah on Liverpool’s season ahead of the parade this afternoon.
“What a season, what a player,” he said. “29 goals in the league and 18 assists. It's just ridiculous consistency from this guy.
“He very rarely misses any games and the brilliance he brings to Liverpool [is so important].
“Once he gets on [his left foot] he really is deadly and he's an incredible player. Obviously he plays in a really good team and good teams need great players. There's no doubt he is that and he's been absolutely sensational.”
Liverpool end-of-season awards
13:50 , Jack RathbornNeil Mellor and Gary McAllister have given out their end-of-season Liverpool awards.
Player of the season? Easy: Mohamed Salah for both.
“If it can’t be Mo?” A necessary award, to be fair, Mellor goes for Ryan Gravenberch, but McAllister opts for Virgil Van Dijk.
Young player? Both go for the Dutch midfielder.
Liverpool weather forecast for title parade
13:40 , Jack RathbornLiverpool have said that the parade could last as long as five hours.
It’s been a little damp in the city, but that hasn’t hit the mood, with joyous scenes with more than an hour before the bus departs.
After missing out on a parade three years ago, thanks to the Covid campaign, Liverpool fans are determined to make the most of this one.
The forecast in the next few hours suggests 80-90 per cent chance of rain right the way through to 8pm tonight, according to the Met Office. Temperatures are 14c, meaning a good jacket is essential to last the course today for the Reds.
There’s a little dip from 3-4pm with the chance of rain down to just 70 per cent.
Mohamed Salah reveals stunning Saudi transfer plan before signing new Liverpool contract
13:31 , Jack RathbornMohamed Salah said that he would have gone to the Saudi Pro-League this summer if he had not signed a new deal with Liverpool.
The Egyptian revealed he held “serious” talks with the cash-rich Saudi league. Al-Ittihad had bid £150m for him in 2023 and there was renewed interest from the division in recent months.
Liverpool rejected that but risked losing Salah on a free transfer this year, as his contract entered its final few months and after the forward described himself as “more out than in”.
Salah ended up signing a new, two-year deal to stay at Anfield to cap a campaign in which he won his second Premier League title and the Footballer of the Year award.

11:56 , Jack Rathborn“I think you can see it's really amazing,” Ryan Gravenberch tells BBC Radio 5 Live. The Dutchman was sent off in the second half and will miss Liverpool’s first top-flight game next season, but doesn’t seem particularly bothered, which feels fair enough.
“I think this will be one of the best days in my life. Everyone is really happy. It is beautiful to see.
“I will remember it all my life. We never take this for granted. I am really happy I can be in this moment.
“We grew into the season. From the start we gave everything and now is the day to celebrate it.”
Liverpool CEO heaps praise on Arne Slot
11:48 , Jack RathbornLiverpool CEO Billy Hogan praises Arne Slot’s astonishing start to life as Reds manager. “We had the benefit of time, in one sense. Jurgen Klopp made his decision last January, and that allowed a bit of a reset in a sense.
“Then Michael Edwards coming in and FSG Football then hiring Richard Hughes, then we had time to go through a proper process to find the right person.
“Obviously, you never know until they come in and take the role but he's been fantastic.
“He's taken a very strong squad and built on what was already there, and obviously they were just relentless this year. It's been fantastic.”
On new signings, he says, “When we have something to say, we'll say it. Hopefully we'll have things to say, but until then we won't be giving anything away.”

Liverpool in contact with Bayer Leverkusen over record Florian Wirtz transfer
11:33 , Jack RathbornLiverpool have made initial contact with Bayer Leverkusen about a potential deal for Florian Wirtz.
Bayern Munich have also been interested in the Germany playmaker but there are suggestions in Germany that they are less likely to buy the 22-year-old, with Liverpool emerging as a possible destination.
They are already set to sign his Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong, who has had a medical as Liverpool prepare to trigger his €35m release clause. And they could make a double swoop on the 2024 Bundesliga champions, though any transfer for Wirtz could involve breaking Liverpool’s transfer record.
Leverkusen reportedly want £126m for Wirtz, who was named the Bundesliga Player of the Year last season.

Cody Gakpo recalls best moments from title winning season
11:24 , Jack Rathborn“We had a lot of great games,” Gakpo continues, asked whether there was one standout game. “Maybe the 2-0 win against City at home which really, we already had a very good feeling, but maybe this gave us more confidence that we could do something special this season. I think that was a special moment.
“We had many special moments. We had many special comebacks, comebacks against Brighton at home, with 10 men we drew with Fulham at home which was a great game. 2-0 win Brentford away, I can name all the games. We had a lot of beautiful moments.”
Liverpool end title-winning season with draw against Crystal Palace
11:01 , Jack RathbornFA Cup winners Crystal Palace did their best to spoil Liverpool’s title party as they secured a 1-1 draw at Anfield.
A 1-1 draw and Ryan Gravenberch’s red card could not dampen spirits as fans were not prepared to allow anything to spoil seeing the trophy lift in person for the first time in 35 years.
Mohamed Salah equalled the Premier League record of most goal involvements in a season – Andy Cole (1993-94) and Alan Shearer (1994-95) achieved 47 in a 42-game season – with an 84th-minute leveller.
And to prove the occasion was all about celebration even the tearful departing Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was jeered on his last appearance at Anfield, was welcomed back into the fold.
Supporters who were still maybe not prepared to forgive at least ensured the defender’s 354th and final appearance after a 20-year association with his boyhood club did not end on a sour note.

10:59 , Jack RathbornLiverpool continue their Premier League title party with the parade on Monday after the jubilant scenes at Anfield on the final day of the season.
Arne Slot’s side lifted the trophy on Sunday and partied long after the stalemate against Crystal Palace with emotional scenes as the Reds showered Trent Alexander-Arnold with love ahead of his expected move to Real Madrid despite a hostile reaction leading to the end of the campaign.
Now, hundreds of thousands of Liverpool fans will gather in the city on bank holiday Monday to extend the celebrations.
The open-top bus parade marks a 20th top-flight league crown and with an expected busy transfer period, having already been linked with Florian Wirtz, the club is in a fine position to extend this period of success into next season.

He has confirmed that he will depart his boyhood club this summer on a free transfer after helping Arne Slot’s side to Premier League triumph, with the England international widely expected to join Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold replaced Conor Bradley at half-time on his last game for the club and was visibly emotional at the full-time whistle, hugging his teammates and manager as they celebrated a second league title of his spell at Anfield.
"I didn't know what to expect, stepping out at Anfield, after what had happened a few weeks ago,” admitted Alexander-Arnold. “I wanted to play for the club one more time, he trusted me to go out there, the reception means more than anything for me.

Liverpool transfer guide: Florian Wirtz and top targets for Arne Slot’s title defence
10:57 , Jack RathbornLiverpool are bracing for a busy summer to build on this season’s Premier League title success.
Arne Slot orchestrated a stunning debut campaign at Anfield, inheriting a stacked squad from Jurgen Klopp before taking English football by storm to seal a record-equally 20th top-flight crown for the club.
Mohamed Salah was the posterboy of Slot’s title winners, with an eye-watering 46 goal contributions in 37 games taking the Reds out of reach at the top of the table.
However, it was in midfield where Liverpool surprised most, with Slot refining a midfield trio brought in by his predecessor and making each one of them an invaluable entity. His transformation of Ryan Gravenberch from a promising yet raw talent to a world-class defensive midfielder was most astounding, with the 23-year-old starting all 34 league games before Liverpool sealed the title against Spurs.
