Arne Slot has named the most important highlight of this season.
The 2024/25 season will certainly go down as one of the most incredible seasons in the club’s history by the time it officially closes on the 25th of May, when Liverpool play their last Premier League game and lift the league title.
The Reds are just one point away from officially becoming the champions of England for this season, following Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace in midweek.
Despite opinions on the contrary, Slot’s men have been the best team in England this season and completely deserve their tag as champions.
They have lost just two league games this campaign, and went 26 games without defeat between September and April.
The Reds also performed well in Europe, as they topped the UEFA Champions League league phase table, courtesy of a perfect record in their first seven games.
They were only stopped on penalties by a strong PSG side in the round of 16, while a narrow 2-1 loss to Newcastle at Wembley prevented them from winning the League Cup in Slot’s first season.
Still, it remains a very successful season for Arne Slot, who was left with a lot to choose from when asked what he thought was the major highlight of this season.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Slot was asked for his best memory from the season.
He said: “Hopefully that’s a moment still to come in the upcoming five games – hopefully the first one, of course.
But there were special moments.
“[It was] special when Virgil, just before the end, headed the goal in against West Ham.
Trent [Alexander-Arnold] doing this 10 minutes before the end against Leicester.
I think big players always show up in big moments, and that’s what they did.
“But I can also come up with Brentford away: 90 minutes played, 0-0, Darwin Nunez scoring a goal, and I think Trent assisted that one as well.
We’ve had a few of those big moments during the season.
“I cannot pick one, but if I really have to, I think the moment after conceding the 1-1 against West Ham, where everybody probably felt, ‘Ooh, this is going to be difficult, maybe even to bring a 1-1 over the line.’
“Then the team stepped up, the fans stepped up for two minutes, and they were just flying at that moment?
