Liverpool Secures 20th English League Title
Liverpool sealed the Premier League 2024-25 championship after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday, May 25, 2025. Despite already securing the title weeks before, Liverpool’s final game was a showcase of resilience and determination to finish the season unbeaten in their home matches. Mohamed Salah was once again the hero, scoring a crucial equalizer in the 84th minute to rescue a point and set a new Premier League record with 29 league goals and 47 goal involvements in a single season, matching the legendary Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.
Emotional Farewell for Trent Alexander-Arnold
The 2024-25 Premier League season was also notable for being Trent Alexander-Arnold’s final campaign with Liverpool. The 26-year-old right-back, a lifelong Liverpool academy product, is set to join Real Madrid. Alexander-Arnold made his 354th appearance for the club on the final day and received a warm send-off from fans at Anfield. His contributions helped Liverpool secure multiple major trophies, including two Premier League titles and a Champions League victory.
Arsenal’s Strong Finish Secures Second Place
While Liverpool celebrated their title, Arsenal finished second in the Premier League 2024-25 season after a 2-1 win over relegated Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium. Kieran Tierney opened the scoring in the 43rd minute in what was his last game for Arsenal before a transfer, and Martin Ødegaard secured the win with a late goal. This marked Arsenal’s third consecutive season finishing as Premier League runners-up, signaling continued growth under manager Mikel Arteta.
Final Premier League Standings and European Qualification
In addition to Liverpool and Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Newcastle United secured qualification for the next season’s Champions League. Aston Villa narrowly missed out on European football following a controversial refereeing decision. Meanwhile, Southampton, Leicester City, and Ipswich Town were relegated to the Championship for the 2025-26 season.
Tactical Brilliance and Key Player Performances Define Liverpool’s Season
Liverpool’s success in the Premier League 2024-25 season can be attributed to Jurgen Klopp’s tactical acumen and the squad’s collective effort. The team demonstrated flexibility in formations, often switching between a high-pressing 4-3-3 and a more balanced 4-2-3-1, adapting to opponents effectively. Mohamed Salah’s record-breaking goal involvements were supported by a strong midfield led by Fabinho and emerging stars who contributed crucial goals and assists.
Defensively, Liverpool maintained a solid backline, conceding fewer goals compared to previous seasons. The team’s ability to control possession and create scoring chances was evident in their overall statistics: averaging over 60% possession in many matches and consistently producing multiple shots on target. This balance between attack and defense was critical in their dominant league campaign.
Looking Ahead: Challenges and Opportunities for Liverpool
As Liverpool celebrates its Premier League 2024-25 title, attention now turns to the upcoming transfer window and how the club will rebuild after Alexander-Arnold’s departure. Klopp’s focus will likely be on reinforcing defensive options and maintaining the attacking firepower that propelled the team to success. Liverpool’s youth academy continues to produce promising talents, providing optimism for the future.
Furthermore, Liverpool’s success sets the stage for an exciting 2025-26 season where they will defend their crown domestically and compete vigorously in the UEFA Champions League. With rival clubs strengthening their squads, the competition is expected to be fiercer than ever.
