Liverpool are champions of England once again and the party has well and truly started.
Thousands of jubilant fans packed the streets outside Anfield after Arne Slot’s side thrashed Tottenham 5-1 to seal a record-equalling 20th English league title.
Supporters scaled the railings by the Kop, waved scarves from rooftops and even clambered onto a passing Greggs van to get the best view of the red sea stretching down Anfield Road.
Inside the ground, the scenes were unforgettable. Mohamed Salah beamed as he posed for selfies with the Kop roaring behind him.
Meanwhile, local lad Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose current contract is due to expire in June and has been heavily linked with a summer move to Real Madrid, could not contain his emotion, throwing his arms wide open to the crowd.
After the final whistle sounded, Arne Slot ripped off his jumper to reveal a Liverpool shirt with ‘Champions 24-25’ printed on the back.
The new manager, who has won the title in his first season in English football, even joined in the celebrations by dancing in front of the jubilant fans.
It capped an extraordinary debut campaign for Slot, who also paid tribute to his predecessor by chanting the name of Jurgen Klopp.
Klopp had done the same for Slot at the end of last season to encourage Reds fans to get behind the incoming manager.
Slot now has an English title to go alongside the Dutch crown he won with Feyenoord, and Liverpool look well placed to kick on again next season.
