As the dust settles on a historic 2024/25 Premier League title win, Harvey Elliott’s words offer a window into the mentality that carried Liverpool across the finish line. A thumping 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur crowned a season built on resilience, trust and unwavering team spirit.
In his reflections with LFC, Elliott underlined the value of Liverpool’s collective experience: “The squad has leaders, experienced players who have been through it all – the highs, the lows, the heartbreak.” This was a group that remembered the pain of coming up short, of being a point away, or seeing dreams unravel in the final weeks. And they used it.
“We have all cemented it together not to experience that [heartbreak] again,” he added, hinting at the hunger forged through past disappointment. The Premier League title was not simply won through tactics or brilliance – though there was plenty of both – but through emotional investment, leadership, and the refusal to let history repeat itself.

Now 22, Elliott has matured into more than just a promising talent. His perspective mirrors that of a player fully ingrained in the fabric of Liverpool’s culture. “We want to make sure we do everything we can to achieve what we want to do… we have stuck together as a team throughout the season and it has given us the reward now.”
This wasn’t a campaign that felt inevitable. Under Arne Slot, a fresh voice followed the departure of Jürgen Klopp, and the transition could easily have caused a dip. Instead, the players embraced evolution and carried Liverpool over the line with one of the most dominant final runs in recent memory.
Their reward is not just the trophy but also a long-awaited city-wide celebration. For Elliott, this holds personal meaning: “It is going to be unreal scenes to see the city flooded in red… to see that support once more will be incredible.”
The COVID-19 pandemic robbed Liverpool and its fans of a proper parade when they lifted the title in 2019/20. This time, nothing will be left uncelebrated.
Elliott is conscious of what this moment means for the city. “We know that and we see how much it means every single game… we just want to keep driving ourselves on and keep allowing the fans to celebrate with us.”
For him and many others, this is more than a footballing achievement – it’s a cultural event, an expression of togetherness and identity. It reaffirms what it means to wear the Liver bird on your chest, to play not just for Liverpool but as Liverpool.
Slot’s men have delivered where others stumbled. In a season where Manchester City and Arsenal fell short, it was Liverpool who harnessed belief and memory to navigate the chaos. This title is as much about emotional strength as footballing supremacy.

There’s no sense of finality in Elliott’s tone – only continuity. “We love the club, we love the city, the fans and we just want to achieve more and more.” These aren’t empty words. They echo through a squad now redefined by hunger, depth and unity.
A new era is underway. And if this season’s triumph is any indicator, Liverpool are not done yet.
For Liverpool fans, this title will feel as cathartic as it is deserved. After seasons spent knocking on the door, missing out by narrow margins, and navigating managerial transitions, it is the blend of youth and experience that has finally brought the prize back to Anfield.
Harvey Elliott’s reflections are everything you want to hear from a player in red. He gets it – the culture, the responsibility, the privilege. He speaks with maturity and passion, and that’s reflective of this whole squad. The heartbreak of near misses has become the fuel for a relentless, focused, title-winning machine.
This feels different to 2019/20. Then, it was about domination. Now, it’s about character. The journey has been longer, harder. The post-Klopp rebuild was supposed to take time – but under Slot, the blueprint was clear, and the players delivered.
Elliott’s enthusiasm for the parade is also shared by every fan denied that joy five years ago. This will be a celebration not only of football but of survival, loyalty and community. Liverpool FC has reasserted itself as a force. Now, with a new manager and a core group of players still in their prime, supporters can dream even bigger.
