Liverpool clinched the 2024/25 Premier League title, their 20th, with a dominant performance under Arne Slot, finishing with 25 wins, 9 draws, and 4 losses, as detailed in the sports card above. Led by Mohamed Salah’s league-leading goals and assists, the Reds secured the championship with four games to spare, overcoming Jurgen Klopp’s departure. Slot is now targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez to fill the void left by Trent Alexander-Arnold. Newcastle also emerged as winners, securing fifth place and Champions League qualification despite a final-day loss to Everton, while ending a 56-year trophy drought with a League Cup win over Liverpool, driven by Alexander Isak’s 23 goals. Crystal Palace celebrated their first major trophy in 119 years, defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup final, and achieved a club-record 53 points to finish 12th, rebounding from a slow start under Oliver Glasner.
Manchester City, however, suffered a shocking decline, finishing third after winning only once in 13 games during a winter slump, exacerbated by Rodri’s injury and a trophyless season, their first under Pep Guardiola since 2016/17. Manchester United endured their worst campaign since 1974, finishing 15th and missing European qualification, with Ruben Amorim winning just seven of 27 games after Erik ten Hag’s sacking, compounded by a costly Europa League final loss to Tottenham. The promoted trio of Leicester, Ipswich, and Southampton were relegated with a record-low combined 59 points, highlighting the growing competitive gap between the Premier League and Championship, a trend seen only once before in 1997/98 and now repeated for two consecutive seasons.
