2024/25 Premier League Winners: Liverpool, Salah, Newcastle, Forest, Chelsea, Moyes and more
The only place we can possibly start is with the biggest winners of them all, the newly-crowne Premier League champions. Coming into this season, nobody knew quite what to expect from Liverpool.
Despite their squad remaining virtually unchange from last season, they somehow manage to be the Premier League’s biggest unknown quantity,. With their lack of transfer business leaving us with very few clues as to what Arne Slot’s intentions were.
They fell short of maintaining a title challenge right to the end last season, and that เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา was under the iconic Jurgen Klopp. If Liverpool had taken a bit of a transitional year in those circumstances, it would have understandable.
We can’t pretend that it wasn’t made easy for them in the end. Arsenal and Manchester City were both way below the standards they had set over the past two seasons (more on which in the Losers piece),. Yet still finishe second and third. Chelsea looke like potential challengers for, what, like, two weeks? And that was back in December.
Liverpool’s final tally of 84 points is the lowest number racke up by a title-winning side since. Leicester won it in 2016, and they still won it by ten whole points.
But let’s not retcon things. Liverpool were sensational in the first half of the season, losing just once in all competitions before the turn of the new year. They were the best side not just in England but in Europe in that spell, at least to the Champions League standings.
The second half of the season was less impressive, and they looke curiously panicky and undercooke on numerous occasions. Yet in the main, they kept finding ways to win – in the league, at least – and only truly took their foot off the gas after the title was seale with four games still to play.
