For the Reds, the time for deliverance has finally come. At the end of a season mastered from start to finish, then suspended due to the health crisis linked to the Covid-19, Liverpool finally went to get its 19th coronation of champion of England, thirty years after the last. 

The end of a curse for the Mersey club, which however did not have the leisure to celebrate its title as initially hoped for. In the absence of a closed session, as imposed by the sanitary measures in force in the Premier League, it was in front of the television that Jürgen Klopp and his men saw their coronation formalized, at the end of a duel between Chelsea and Manchester City won by the Blues (2-1).

A symbolic duel against City

The Citizens, the last contenders still theoretically in the running to snatch the title in Liverpool, will therefore have abdicated on the evening of the 31st day. With 23 points behind and seven games to play, the Reds are now safe from an unlikely disaster.

Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah and others will still have the opportunity to celebrate their ball-to-foot title on July 2. A success on the lawn of ... Manchester City at the end of the 32nd day would have a symbolic significance for Reds finally freed from the Indian sign.
