Trent Alexander-Arnold led the wild celebrations as Liverpool partied long until the night after winning the Premier League title at Anfield.
A 5-1 victory over Tottenham finally secured the club a record-equalling 20th top-flight title, drawing them level with bitter rivals Manchester United, and Arne Slot’s side wasted no time in toasting their success in style.
Alexander-Arnold and his jubilant team-mates danced around the dressing room while singing ‘Freed From Desire’, and non-alcoholic beer flowed. The whole squad were also kitted out in special ‘Champions 24/25’ home jerseys.
The video was posted to the defender’s 2.7m followers on X.
Darwin Nunez, on top of the world despite a rollercoaster season, also took to social media to share a selfie of himself clutching a bottle and a cigar, alongside the cryptic caption: ‘Premier League champion, let them tell it however they want.’
The final whistle saw the players rush onto the pitch to begin the festivities and Arne Slot was soaked in champagne after addressing the crowd and leading a tribute song to Jurgen Klopp, who stepped down from his role at the end of last season.

Meanwhile, a beaming Mohamed Salah posed for another celebration selfie with supporters after being passed a phone from the crowd during the game.
There was a poignant pause to the madness on the field when the entire squad and backroom team joined arms, side by side, and were serenaded as the Kop sang ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. Captain Virgil van Dijk was unable to hold back the tears.
Alexander-Arnold is said to be close to joining Real Madrid this summer and reports in the Spanish capital suggest the club are confident of closing the deal. However, the full back was front and centre in the celebrations after his boyhood club’s success.
At one point, he was snapped in conversation with Liverpool owner John W Henry in front of the dugouts, leading social media users to urge him to ‘get his wallet out’.
With the night still young, the players returned to their dressing room and posed for a squad photo while Florence & The Machine blared out from the speakers.
Keen to let the team have their moment, Slot’s coaching staff gathered around the sides of the group while the likes of Salah and Curtis Jones enjoyed the limelight.
Harvey Elliott was also in the thick of it as he shared a selfie with Caoimhin Kelleher and Tyler Morton on his Instagram story and wrote: ‘Let’s goooooooooo’.
Salah insisted this season’s title party was ‘way better’ compared to the Covid-affected 2019-20 campaign, saying: ‘Without Sadio [Mane], without Jurgen, without Bobby [Firmino] – without everybody it feels more special.

‘We have a different group now, different manager.
‘To be able to do it again is something special.’
Slot later lifted the lid on his own plans – and revealed how many beers he will drink.
‘The only moment I was emotional today was when we arrived at the stadium,’ he said. ‘You could see what it meant for the people. Everyone inside the bus felt a responsibility. It was impossible for us to lose this game of football.’
He then added: ‘I will probably celebrate with a glass of beer or two, or three.’
Anfield was a cauldron of noise throughout the raucous 90 minutes and the atmosphere reached fever pitch outside of the ground, too.
Thousands of supporters packed the streets while others scaled the railings by the Kop, waved scarves from the rooftops and even climbed onto a passing Greggs van to get the best view of the red sea which stretched all the way down Anfield Road.
In some places, thick clouds of red smoke prevented people from seeing further than just a few metres in front of them, as the festivities stretched long into the evening.
