Liverpool's 30-year wait for a league title is officially over. While the Reds might have hoped they would seal the deal against Man City next week, City's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea was enough for Liverpool to be crowned England's champions for the 2019-20 season. Naturally, Jurgen Klopp's men were ecstatic, who hosted a small party after the Reds secured the title on Thursday night (Friday IST).

Trent Alexander-Arnold drunk during Liverpool title celebrations?
For some more than others, the Liverpool title celebrations might have been a bit too much, hindering their ability to partake in a late-night interview. Trent Alexander-Arnold, 21, certainly had enough of the party as the full-back was apparently too hammered to recollect a question asked just seconds ago. Alexander-Arnold may have had a tough time remembering the question since Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Andrew Robertson were constantly pestering him during the interview with LFCTV. Nevertheless, the Scouser appeared to be in quite a revelrous mood.

During an earlier interview with Sky Sports, Trent Alexander-Arnold said that despite securing the title with seven games to go, the Reds have no intention of slowing down. With Liverpool facing the tough task of visiting the Etihad to face Man City, Alexander-Arnold said Liverpool's primary focus will be trying and getting a result from the game. Post that, Jurgen Klopp's men would be hoping to break a few records as they approach the final seven games of the Premier League season. "We've got a lot of games left... so we've got to keep pushing ourselves and hopefully break a few records," the 21-year-old said.
With the title secured, Trent Alexander-Arnold feels its the right time to build upon the club's recent success and continue developing as a team together. "We've got to focus on ourselves and not take things for granted."
