00:00On a day that was supposed to be filled with celebrations of Liverpool's 20th English League title, tragedy briefly overshadowed triumph.
00:11During the club's victory parade through the city, a car drove into a crowd on Water Street, injuring dozens of supporters, including children.
00:19While police confirmed the incident was not terror-related and made an arrest, these shocking scenes left a sombre mark on what should have been a moment of pure jubilation.
00:32Despite the distressing news, Liverpool's title-winning campaign remained a source of immense pride.
00:38Arne Schlott, in his first season in charge, delivered the Premier League trophy back to Anfield for the first time since 2020,
00:46and he called Manchester United's record of 20 English top-flight titles in the process.
00:52And we still know how hard it is to win a game of football in this league, so that we were one of the teams that could win it.
00:57I think that was quite clear from maybe, I don't know, maybe even from pre-season onwards.
01:03But then you need to have consistency, and that's difficult.
01:07But we had that, and that's the reason why we probably deserved to win it.
01:12If you have a margin like we have, I think it's fair to say that we deserved to win this league this season.
01:18Liverpool had already sealed the league, but ended the season with a 1-1 draw against FA Cup winners Crystal Palace.
01:26Ismail Assar gave Palace the lead, and Liverpool were reduced to 10 men.
01:30But Mohamed Salah stepped up once again, scoring late to equalise and record his 47th goal involvement of the campaign,
01:39equaling a Premier League record.
01:41Trent Alexander-Arnold made his farewell appearance emotional as he lifted the trophy alongside captain Virgil van Dijk.
01:48While Schlott was hailed by supporters for the calm authority he has brought to the club.
01:53What should have been a day of unbroken celebration became a moment of reflection.
02:00But in the face of adversity, the football community stood united.
02:04In the end, Liverpool's title parade became not just a tribute to sporting excellence,
02:09but to the strength, resilience and solidarity of the footballing world.
