Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard hailed the club’s incredible achievement in being crowned champions for the first time in the Premier League era.
By winning the 2019-20 title, Liverpool ended their 30-year wait for a league championship, taking their total tally to 19 titles, just one shy of Manchester United’s record of 20.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were crowned champions on Thursday night as Manchester City were defeated by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It left Pep Guardiola’s 23 points behind the leaders with seven games left to play.
Among those marking the achievement was former skipper Gerrard, who won two FA Cups and a Champions League with the club but never claimed a league title.
Gerrard, now manager of Rangers, wrote on Instagram: “Congratulations to all @liverpoolfc on winning the premier league. Incredible achievement from a fantastic squad of top players.
