«They always find a way to win. [I'm] incredibly proud, not only of the players but the people standing here — sport directors, my staff members — we should give them a big round of applause.

»Let's forget it's the second [title] in 35 years, it's the second in five years!"

Meanwhile, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said winning the Premier League title was an achievement the club would never take for granted.

«A lot of emotions before the game, during the whole week. We got the job done and we truly deserve to be champions of England.

»[It's] the most beautiful club in the world. I think we deserve all of this. Let's enjoy the next couple of weeks and let it sink in."
