Sports Direct declared the Premier League title race – and has announced Liverpool as unofficial champions.
With 10 more games to go, the Reds are 13 points free from the second place Arsenal and the store giants wanted to be the first to congratulate them. The store has launched a series of unofficial champions 25 T-shirts and replica shirts to celebrate Liverpool triumph
The Arne Slot team almost secured the title after their exciting 2-0 win over Newcastle United. Liverpool saw the match expand their lead at the top of the table, with an early goal from Dominik Szoboszlai and a strike of 63rd minutes by Alexis Mac Allister. In the midlands, Arsenal dropped points for the second time in four days, with Nottingham Forest, to effectively indicate the end of their title loop.
A direct spokesperson for Sport said: “We wanted to be the first to congratulate Liverpool for their remarkable run this season. The launch of our Unofficial Champions T-shirt and printed replica shirts offers fans the opportunity to celebrate early, prior to the last Premier League Push. “
The T-shirt costs £ 9.99 for adults, £ 7.99 for juniors and is now available to buy.
Fans of Liverpool can also order a 'Champions 25' replica shirt. It has champions and the number 25 on the back, while 'Champions 25' is also embroidered around the Clubbadge.
After the Newcastle Game Manager Slot was asked if he thought the title was close – but said that his focus was on the next match against PSG in the Champions League next week.
He said: 'I don't know because I don't think so. I already think of Paris Saint-Germain. What you don't know, but what I know, because I watched them against City, because we played the city and I am impressed by the quality they have.
“I think they are the same way as we are – hardly any game lost for a long time. Although I am not always correct in data, because my son told me two days ago that I made a big, big mistake by saying that Cristiano Ronaldo never played in the Premier League.
“So I'm not sure if Paris Saint-Germain has the same run as ours, but they are doing really well. So my most important focus is on Paris Saint-Germain.
“I have now forgotten the competition table, I now forget the Premier League until we have played Paris Saint-Germain and then I will start thinking about the Premier League again.”
Fans have also seen Liverpool League Cup T-shirts 'Marching Down Wembley Way' for less than £ 15 on Amazon, for the final against Newcastle on March 16.
