Men langt om længe kan Liverpool kalde sig engelske mestre igen. Uden at have været i kamp!
Manchester City skulle torsdag aften slå Chelsea for at bevare den lille matematiske mulighed for at indhente Liverpool. Men det lykkedes ikke for Pep Guardiola & co - Chelsea vandt 2-1 og sendte dermed msterskabet til Beatles-byen..
Amerikanske Christian Pulisic bragte i første halvleg Chelsea på 1-0, men 10 minutter inde i anden halvleg udlignede den tidligere Chelsea-spiller Kevin de Bruyne på et fremragende frisparksmål.
Med et kvarter tilbage fik Chelsea tilkendt straffespark, og Manchester Citys Fernandinho blev udvist i samme ombæring. Willian eksekverede sikkert muligheden fra 11 meters-pletten.
Og sådan gik det til, at tre årtiers bitter ventetid sluttede for Liverpool og deres millioner af fans verden over. Det er klubbens 19. mesterskab.
Det er anden år i træk, at Liverpool kan løfte en pokal. I sidste strøg klubben til tops i Champions League.
