Salah strikes to launch party 35 years in making
The Guardian
|May 26, 2025
Touches of class abounded at Anfield. There was the impromptu guard of honour Liverpool gave Crystal Palace in recognition of their FA Cup win and the tumultuous reception that meant everything to Trent Alexander-Arnold as he stepped on to the podium to collect one final medal with his boyhood club.
Most poignantly, there was the sight of Alan Hansen passing the Premier League trophy to Virgil van Dijk. Van Dijk and Hansen, what a central defensive partnership they would have made. The Scot had been the last Liverpool captain to receive a league championship trophy in front of the club's fans, 35 years and 24 days earlier. How fitting it should be him to give the silverware to Liverpool's current captain. Jordan Henderson was denied that electric moment with supporters by the pandemic in 2020, so too Jürgen Klopp. Both were present to witness Van Dijk and Arne Slot revel in Liverpool's record-equalling 20th league title in front of the Kop.
Anfield had craved this moment since 1990 and the sight of the silverware being raised in Van Dijk's hands ignited an outpouring of joy. Amid the celebrations, the Netherlands international called Hansen over. Together they lifted the title in front of the Kop. The 69-year-old then made a respectful exit and allowed the champions to soak up the acclaim. There will be more to follow when Liverpool parade the trophy today.
