With Arne Slot at the helm, Liverpool ascended to new heights, clinching the Premier League title in a remarkable debut season following Jurgen Klopp's departure. This victory came amidst powerhouse competition, yet the Reds solidified their supremacy long before the season's finale.
League Triumphs and Cup Trials
The season wasn't without its challenges. While Liverpool ruled the Premier League, they faced setbacks in the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League, with surprise exits against Plymouth Argyle and Paris Saint-Germain. Additionally, a narrow 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United saw them bow out of the League Cup.
Record-Breakers and Departures
Cherished Liverpool icons Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk continued to dazzle, both on the brink of breaking club records, following their contract renewals. Meanwhile, the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Anfield added a bittersweet note to the season.
