We deserve this. We are going to enjoy the next couple of weeks and take it in. I was desperate to win it for them [the fans] and all the fans around the world, and for us as well.We have won two Premier League trophies in five years,\"\u0327 said Van Dijk to Sky Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The triumph is the club\u2019s second during the Premier League era, following that of 2019-20, and overall moves Liverpool level for the most English top-flight titles alongside Manchester United.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It also represents a 52nd major men\u2019s honour in Reds history, with this the eighth secured during the past six years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Liverpool will be officially presented with the Premier League trophy when they host Crystal Palace at Anfield on the final day of the season, Sunday May 25.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The whole league was shocked at the surprise appointment of Arne Slot ahead of the season but the Dutch head coach lived up to the name and guided them to their second title in the Premier League era.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Slot stated there was no way his side was going to lose with the League title within grasp and appreciated predecessor Jurgen Klopp for his contribution to the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIt feels great.
