LONDON: Reaction to Liverpool’s Premier League triumph, their first league title since 1990:
Manager Juergen Klopp: “I have no words. It is unbelievable, much more than I thought was possible. Becoming champions with this club is absolutely incredible. This is for Kenny (Dalglish), for Stevie (Gerrard) – everyone!” he said.
Liverpool Principal Owner John Henry:
“This was a season for the ages and for the faithful of Liverpool Football Club. It has been an incredible year of magnificent achievement culminating tonight in capturing the Premier League title.”
Former Liverpool player and manager Kenny Dalglish, the last manager to win the title for the club in 1990:
“The last two years and since Juergen (Klopp)’s come in has been very positive. He’s been fantastic and epitomises everything Liverpool Football Club stands for. Whatever they got, they have deserved it.”
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, whose team won the last two Premier League titles:
“Congratulations to Liverpool for this great season. We won a lot in the last few years and of course we want to close the gap.”
Graeme Souness, former Liverpool player and manager:
“They have been fabulous this team, This is a special team, a team that going forward, you can’t say they will win it every year, but they will come very close to winning this one and the big one, the European one (Champions League).”
Andy Robertson, Liverpool left back:
“We had to wait 13 weeks, it was 13 long weeks with uncertainty, but a lot of our fans had to wait 30 years so it was a short time compared to what they’ve had.”
