Slot acknowledges that it's surreal to achieve this milestone, but the overwhelming joy of the fans made it clear to him and his team that they had accomplished something special. He said, "I'm very happy, of course, but it also feels a bit unreal because we've worked so hard for this moment. Seeing the fans' happiness made it sink in quickly."
Slot reminisced about his first visit to Liverpool, when he was invited by former assistant manager Pep Lijnders. He was impressed by the team's talent, particularly Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez, whom he saw playing for the U21s during that visit.
Slot emphasized the significance of the fans' support, saying, "The moment I arrived at the stadium, I felt the buzz of the title win. Seeing the fans' excitement made it clear what this meant for them." He added that the team felt a sense of responsibility to deliver the win, but with the fans' energy, they knew they couldn't lose.
Slot also thanked the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group, and president John W Henry for trusting him with the managerial role. He acknowledged that not everyone was convinced of his appointment, but the club's willingness to take a chance on him has paid off. Slot said, "It's a special moment for everyone, including the owners, to win the league in front of our fans."
