Liverpool’s newly-crowned Premier League champions waved scarves and hands in the air and jumped in unison as they belted out 90s dance anthem ‘Show Me Love’ while celebrating the club’s greatest triumph in 30 years.

With the squad all wearing their famous red home shirt with ‘Champions 2020’ written on the back, stars such as Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and Andy Robertson partied long into the night at the Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa.

In joyous scenes shared by Trent Alexander-Arnold on Instagram, fans were given an insight into how the players toasted the biggest night of their careers – and in particular the moment they all sang Robin S’s 1990 hit song – after they finally ended the club’s 30-year league title wait on Thursday night. 

Having earlier gathered together at the hotel, Jurgen Klopp’s men watched an outdoor screen as Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge confirmed their position as champions in an outstanding campaign which has seen them drop just seven points all season. 

Klopp was clearly emotional as he appeared on television afterwards – while his players were in the mood to party as they mobbed Van Dijk during his interview on BT Sport. Then it was on to a championship celebration with the players’ wives at ‘the home of the champions’. 

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson had been coy when quizzed on where players celebrating, keen to preserve the secret nature of their hideout for fears ‘thousands of fans would turn up’ to join them. 

Players did a drum-roll for the final seconds of the match at Stamford Bridge as they sat together as a group in an outdoor seating area at the hotel.

Defender Robertson, goalkeeper Alisson and playmaker Roberto Firmino were among those bursting into song in club colours as the squad shared their joy.

The after party continued inside in a red-lit room, before the players were eventually pictured leaving the venue in the early hours. 

Robertson revealed that the players were hoping boss Jurgen Klopp would give them a rest after the party, telling the BBC: ‘We’re still trying to convince the boss downstairs to give us a few days off!

‘I have no words. It’s unbelievable. Becoming champions with this club is incredible.’

Captain Jordan Henderson praised Klopp for revolutionising the club, saying: ‘It wouldn’t be possible to do it without the manager. 

‘From day one he changed everything. We all followed him.

‘What you see is what you get, with his press conferences and on the sidelines.

‘Obviously he has got more of a personal side with the players, but he has got a balance of having a relationship with the players and being a friend but also being a bit ruthless when he needs to be.

‘He is a great leader and a great human being and we all believe in him. To be honest, I’m lost for words. 

‘You never really think of this moment. When this moment comes I can’t really describe it. It’s another moment in our lives that we’ll never forget.

‘It feels amazing. I’m so happy for all the boys. The club, the whole city. I am so proud of what we achieved.’

Before his triumphant team-mates pounced on him, Van Dijk told BT Sport: ‘It’s incredible to be part of this group of players.

Last season we won the Champions League and this year, especially in the Premier League, we have taken it to a different level. We have been so consistent and doing so well.

‘It’s a fantastic feeling. From the moment I’ve joined it’s one team, everyone is part of it, from the people that work at Melwood, in the stadium and the players of course. 

‘We all want the same thing. Off the pitch we have a bond which is outstanding as well.’

Liverpool’s last top-flight triumph came in 1990 but they won the title at a canter this time, completing the job with a 23-point lead over Manchester City and seven matches to spare. 

Dalglish, who was their manager when they lifted the First Division trophy, watched the players start the party and said: ‘I’m very pleased for everybody connected with the football club. Jurgen has done a fantastic job.

‘The highlight has been the camaraderie within the team and the way everyone has helped the team.

‘We have many more happy days to look forward to as long as Jurgen is here. Liverpool from top to bottom in the football club have been fantastically supportive. You know how much it means. Jurgen Klopp epitomises everything that this football club is about. Onwards and upwards.’

Klopp dedicated the title to Dalglish and club legend Steven Gerrard, who praised his former boss and club owners Fenway Sports Group on Instagram.

The former Reds captain wrote: ‘Congratulations to all on winning the premier league.
