Liverpool’s triumph in clinching their second Premier League title in five years ignited jubilant scenes following a dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday. The celebratory atmosphere extended well beyond the final whistle, with new head coach Arne Slot immersing himself fully in the moment. Slot even led a spirited rendition of Jurgen Klopp’s iconic chant, this time honoring his predecessor and the foundation he left behind.
The celebrations didn’t end with the fans inside Anfield. Even after the stadium had emptied, Liverpool’s players continued to bask in their achievement. Trent Alexander-Arnold shared several snapshots of the festivities from within the dressing room, posting a lively story on Instagram that captured the team’s ecstatic mood.
For Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool’s vice-captain, taking part in the celebrations was almost inevitable. Regardless of ongoing rumors linking him to a summer move to Real Madrid, savoring such a monumental accomplishment — a Premier League title — is something few players would want to miss. It’s hard to imagine him standing silently aside while teammates like Virgil van Dijk led raucous celebrations.
Of course, the fact that Trent shared these moments publicly might spark additional debate, particularly as uncertainty continues to surround his long-term future at Anfield. Does his visible joy and engagement tell us anything definitive about his intentions? Probably not. Any conclusions drawn from it might be fueled more by optimism or wishful thinking than by concrete evidence.
Looking at the situation objectively, a departure from Liverpool at this point would seem somewhat illogical. Alexander-Arnold has already amassed an impressive haul of nine major trophies with his boyhood club, including two Premier League titles and a Champions League crown in 2019. While the lure of Real Madrid, with their historic 15 Champions League titles, remains powerful, Liverpool’s recent form suggests they are far from being a spent force.
The club’s determination to remain competitive is underlined by the contract extensions recently signed by key figures like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, both of whom have pledged their futures to Liverpool for at least two more years under Slot’s leadership. It’s clear the club’s ambitions are as strong as ever.
It raises the question: has Alexander-Arnold fully considered the strength of the project he is already a part of? Perhaps a gentle nudge from Liverpool’s principal owner, John W. Henry, could help persuade him that his future — and further glory — still lies at Anfield.
