The most awaited Premier – AS.com

It has taken three decades, two Champions and a pandemic for Liverpool to become the champion of England again. And, for the first time, champion of the Premier in its current format. The 'reds' add their 19th league title in the strangest way, and that is that they not only become champions from home following the defeat of their pursuer (if they can continue to call that a Manchester City that is to 23 points), they also do it in the midst of a confinement that makes it impossible to celebrate with their fans. The streets of the city of the Beatles had better not have too much music and fuss tonight, The country is under threat of a second wave of the disease, but Klopp already has the title they wanted at Anfield. He is already a legend.

The coronavirus froze in March what may be the most forceful champion in the history of the Premier but the return has shown that the engine of the 'Reds' has not lost a single revolution. The temperature at which they are kept by Jürgen Klopp is commendable, especially considering that yesterday, with 20 points of advantage over Manchester City and the title already in his pocket, the image given by his was spectacular. Not only did they pass over the Crystal Palace with force, but they kept the desire from minute one to 90. The champion in its purest form.

At Stamford Bridge, however, two other realities could be seen. One, that of a Manchester City that is known with the potential to better play this Premier but to whom reality has confronted him with a most uncomfortable reflection. This team cannot end the season so far from the leader. The other, that of un Chelsea excited about the signings for next season and with the feeling that they can retain fourth place before the attack of Manchester United. At the moment, and in the absence of the 'red devils' playing, the 'blues' have a five point advantage.

Both Lampard and Pep were clear before the game that Liverpool was going to get this Premier, whether it was tonight or the weekend. “Being cheered on by Liverpool fans is a very strange thing! They've already won the league months ago and I don't think they'll lose anything in terms of celebrations if it's confirmed tonight. They have had an impressive season. They should be very happy with how well they have done, but that is their thing, we only focus on the game, “said the Chelsea coach.

Meanwhile, Guardiola, who has ended up kneeling before Klopp, did not want to hide the drink that these days meant for them: Listen, we can't win every title, but we also can't deny that this week will be tough. I congratulate Liverpool, they have taken the title. We now have the Champions League and FA Cup tie ahead, which are well positioned. ”

Despite the fact that the 'citizens' started the game very fluently in the circulation of the ball, Chelsea hit first. He also did it in the way that hurts Pep the most. Backlash and taking advantage of Mendy's two blunder. First leaving the ball to Pulisic showing a total lack of intensity, and then not hitting the leg with force when the American threw it into space to stand before Ederson. The former Dortmund, who incidentally trained Jürgen, could not define better, as Nor could De Bruyne shoot better in the second half.

His free-kick to Kepa's right wing stopped time in Liverpool, but it is that practically immediately afterwards Sterling sent a ball to the post that surely made more than one 'red' fan put the cork back into champagne. In the final minutes Pulisic had it again, but Walker pulled the ball over the line. Fernandinho tried the same thing shortly after, this time with his hand, but the VAR, who walked faster than the referee, caught him, showed the Brazilian a red card and the penalty ended in a Willian goal and a title for Liverpool.
