Liverpool is moving towards its 20th top-flight title with triumphant performances like the recent win over Newcastle United, which extended their lead to 13 points. Fans sing in anticipation of celebrating on their home ground, Anfield, after a long wait. The 2020 title win, while record-breaking for its timing, felt anticlimactic due to pandemic restrictions, denying supporters the cherished live celebration experience. Now, Liverpool supporters are hopeful for an emotional and well-deserved celebration that the previous title win lacked.
For a generation of fans, it was more than anticlimactic. Winning the title in 2020 and finally ending the Reds' 30-year drought stung more than it should, the trophy being presented in front of an empty Anfield at the height of the pandemic.
Winning the title with seven games to play, the earliest English top-flight title win in history, should have resulted in unprecedented scenes of celebration as Jurgen Klopp's side were given seven guards of honours, but instead, the unprecedented scenes were of a team lifting the trophy on The Kop and season ticket holders watching on TV.
