More will of those pictures and videos will roll in throughout the night but that's good for now. Even if you aren't a Liverpool fan, it's nice to actually see people happy. It feels like it's been so long since anyone had anything to celebrate and Liverpool fans are certainly making up for lost time.
After becoming the highest-scoring team not to win a Premier League crown last season and coming off a Champions League title, Liverpool entered the 2019-20 season as one of the league's favorites. Boasting a loaded roster and one of the best managers in soccer -- Jurgen Klopp -- the club lived up to all expectations on its way to a dominant title win.
This is the 19th league championship in club history and certainly one of the sweetest.
