Vision. Valour. Victory.

On Sunday, May 24^th, Liverpool were officially crowned Premier League champions for the 20th time—equalling Manchester United’s domestic record while maintaining their European supremacy with six Champions League titles to United’s three. Mohamed Salah, the undisputed star of the campaign, claimed an unprecedented quadruple of individual honours: the Golden Boot, Playmaker Award, Player of the Season, and FWA Footballer of the Year, establishing himself as the leading contender for this year’s Ballon d’Or.

Arne Slot’s men conquered England through sheer will and collective brilliance. While Salah danced through defences at will, Van Dijk stood as an immovable fortress (Fun fact: 861 summited Everest, 682 reached space last year, yet zero dribblers passed Big Virg). Between them, Gravenberch bossed the midfield trenches while Alisson remained... well, AlisSOLID between the sticks. Most remarkably? Their sole signing Federico Chiesa made fewer appearances than Salah’s Man of the Match collection.

The Contrast with Rivals Was Stark:

• Manchester City, despite Pep Guardiola’s genius, showed vulnerability.
• Manchester United’s decline continued as they finished closer to the Championship than the Champions League.
• Tottenham, ravaged by injuries under Ange Postecoglou, finished 17th—though their Europa League triumph ended a 17-year trophy drought.
• Arsenal, meanwhile, did what they were destined to do—leave us wondering whether the noise was louder or the excuses.

But there is more to this triumph than silverware. For those with a learning mindset, Liverpool’s success offers profound life lessons:

1. Money Doesn’t Buy Success:

While their sole signing, Federico Chiesa, contributed fewer than 11 league appearances,

Liverpool outmaneuvered free-spending rivals like Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea. Slot made no excuses—he maximized what he had. The lesson? Success isn’t bought; it’s built. Like they say, “Success is not the best of everything you want but the best of everything you have got”.

2. Unity is Strength:

Salah shone brightest, but under Van Dijk’s leadership the entire team worked like a well gelled machine, and all were equally pivotal. Slot built his team around Salah’s attack and Van Dijk’s defensive command. Apply this: Know your strong-suits and act accordingly. Build a strong circle—success is a team sport. As we all know “akh te akh gai kahh” (1+1=11).

3. Fortune favours the brave:

Tasked with succeeding an era-defining manager in Jürgen Klopp, Slot navigated immense pressure with conviction. In the world’s most demanding league, few expected him to make the top 4, let alone win the title. Yet his tactical clarity and boldness proved that leadership isn’t about replicating the past—it’s about building upon it and being confident in what you believe in. Therefore, when the wind changes its direction, adjust your sails. You are the captain of your life. Believing in yourself is the first secret to success.

4. Your Environment Shapes You.

Unlike clubs reliant on individual stardom, Liverpool’s strength lies in their collective mentality. Anfield’s atmosphere isn’t mere noise—it’s a psychological force, famous for intimidating opponents before the whistle even blows. When you surround yourself with people who elevate, support, and inspire you, you are bound to succeed.

5. Vision

Despite their star-studded squad, Liverpool are already planning ahead. Key moves include:

• Giorgi Mamardashvili (signed)
• Jeremy Frimpong (signed)
• Florian Wirtz (keen on a €120–130M move)
• Milos Kerkez (advanced talks)
• Heavily linked with: Rayan Cherki, Viktor Gyökeres, and Alexander Isak

The lesson? Success isn’t a finish line. Keep growing, evolving, and investing in your future.

And, as Salah’s prostration after every goal reminds us: Gratitude to your creator invites continued blessings.

Liverpool didn’t just win a league—they modelled how to sustain excellence in any field.

As Professor Ben Edwards of the University of Liverpool noted, the title-winning celebrations generated measurable seismic activity—proof that real passion can even make the Earth shake.
