ARNE SLOT has paid homage to ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp with a Kop singalong after winning the Premier League.
The Reds wrapped up a first title since 2020 with a thumping 5-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
Slot cut a relaxed figure all afternoon as his team stormed back from behind against hapless Spurs.
And he led an emotional rendition of a Klopp chant while celebrating at a raucous Anfield.
The Dutchman took the mic to address fans after securing the title with four games to spare.
It is the first time since 1990 that fans have been in Anfield to celebrate a top-flight title.
Klopp stepped aside from his role as Liverpool boss last summer.
And he had implored fans to welcome his replacement Slot by leading a chant with fans after a final-day win against Wolves last May.
Slot repaid the favour on Sunday, singing down the mic: “Jurgen Klopp, la la la.”
The chant – to the tune of Life is Life by Opus – was immediately bellowed back by all four sides of Anfield.
One fan wrote in response to the footage on X: “This is the real heritage.”
Another said: “This one’s for you Jurgen, we will never be able to thank you enough for what you did for us.”
While a third added: “Has someone been cutting onions?”
A fourth commented: “I’m actually bursting into tears what a football club.”
And a fifth said: “The best full circle moment ever.”
Liverpool demolished Spurs thanks to goals from Mo Salah, Alexis Mac Allister, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.
Fans and players celebrated after the final whistle, with Salah taking selfies in front of the Kop.
An emotional Slot told Sky Sports: “It is difficult to put into words.
“The scenes here and before the game tells you more than I can describe.
“[The fans being here] is what makes it special. Three or four years ago they won the league.
“It was an amazing accomplishment, but the fans weren’t there.
“So you can feel how important it was for them to be here. And the boys did an outstanding job today, including our fans.”
