GRACIOUS RIVALS
Pep Guardiola, Manchester City: “Congratulations for
Liverpool fans, the manager, the players. Well deserved.”Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United: “Any team that
wins the championship and a Premier League deserve it and
deserve credit, it's a hard league to win. Well done to Jürgen and
his players.”Chris Wilder, Sheffield United: “Congratulations to Jürgen
and LFC from myself and everyone at Sheffield United. The
consistency levels they've shown week in, week out, have been
incredible.”Daniel Farke, Norwich City: “From our side, congratulations to
Liverpool. It's amazing what they have achieved this season. To
do it in the best league in the world is outstanding.
“Well done Jürgen and his team.”Steve Bruce, Newcastle United: “I was playing the last time
they won it. For them to be waiting 30 years just shows you how
difficult it is. To have only dropped seven points after 31 games,
you can only congratulate them. They are worthy champions.
With my connections with Manchester that is sometimes difficult
to say, but they have been truly fantastic in everything they’ve
done.”Michael Zorc, Borussia Dortmund: “Congratulations, Jürgen!
You are the greatest! It's not for nothing I've for many years now
been calling you the Muhammad Ali of football.”THEY WORE THE RED
Steven Gerrard: “Congratulations to all at Liverpool FC on
winning the Premier League, an incredible achievement from a

FSG. And lastly and most importantly, the fans who have waited
30 years. Let the party begin.”Jamie Carragher: “This Liverpool team now will want to
emulate what Manchester City have done and retain the title for
sure, and what Manchester United did under Sir Alex Ferguson.
“I don’t think one title will be enough for Jürgen Klopp and this
team with the energy they have. Ninety-seven points last season
and winning the Champions League, you wondered how hard it
would be winning the title this season, but they have absolute ran
away with it.
“It’s great to get Liverpool back on their perch.”Ian Rush: “This is for the younger generation of Liverpool
supporters. They have had to grow up on stories from their
parents and grandparents of what it's like for Liverpool to win the
title. Now they get to experience it for themselves.”Fernando Torres: “Huge congrats to everyone at LFC on
winning the Premier League. Unbelievable squad, magnificent34
