• Champions: the end of three decades of drought

The warnings of the authorities and the police, in the previous hours, did little to the euphoria unleashed among thousands of Liverpool fans, who took to the streets on Thursday to celebrate the Premier's title. The success of the Jürgen Klopp team was clouded by celebrations that did not respect the sanitary measures imposed after the pandemic.

Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson did not hesitate to describe as "disappointing" what happened in a city that on Wednesday, according to official figures, had registered 1,677 cases of Covid-19, triple that of the 12th (544). "People ignored the advice, so now we need to know if there is another rebound as a result of this," Anderson said.

The Liverpool City Council had expressed its concern at the wave of fans who would come to celebrate in the vicinity of Anfield and in the city center. Three months ago, at the start of the pandemic, Anderson had also shown his fear of the restart of the Premier League, which he believed would trigger "ridiculous" scenes near the stadium.

Police complaints

Then, the 'red' club was "disappointed" with those words of the first mayor. Likewise, the famous animation group Spirit of Shankly asked him to retract, ensuring that there was no "evidence" that fans broke the rules to show their joy.

The Friday morning scenes were also analyzed by Rob Carden , Merseyside Police Chief. "As it happened during the hardest weeks of confinement, not everyone followed the current legislation," he lamented, referring to those who left Anfield to celebrate the first league title in three decades.

Respect the "social bubble"

Carden called for citizenship so that "in the next few days," fans will only celebrate "in their social bubble" and "with members of their home." The senior official recalled that the Merseyside region had been "disproportionately affected" by the coronavirus and reiterated his call for calm. "We all must do what we can to avoid more deaths," he concluded.

It must be remembered that the Liverpool City Council has already opened an investigation into the impact on the city of the match of March 11 in the eighths of the Champions League. Tim Spector , one of the top health officials in the United Kingdom, commented that that match against Atlético de Madrid "increased deaths and suffering."
