I was lucky to win competition titles as a player and manager at two of the largest clubs of British football in Liverpool and Glasgow Rangers.
They are sporting institutions that I had to be part of.
It is not only because of their success, but also the passion that the supporters show against those football clubs is of the charts. In some cases, and forgive me, because many women and children may not want to hear this, these clubs are the most important concern in the lives of those supporters. I have seen it up close what it means for them.
It is a wonderful day for this Liverpool players and it is one that they will remember until the day they die.
That first league title win is a unique feeling. For some on Anfield it is their second taste, but no less memorable, because the supporters were there this time.
My sweetest in Liverpool was probably my last in 1984, our third in a row, but my first was in 1979. I can still remember that I was looking around the dressing room, knowing that I was with greats of the game, thinking, regardless of who comes afterwards, these guys are real greats.
I had become part of a team where we were expected to have won the league title. The confidence that the atmosphere has brought in was that you thought it was your destination to keep winning titles.
I hope that these players today get the same feeling to look around the dressing room; That this could be the start of a dominant period for Liverpool again.
That will not be that easy because the top of England is a super difficult competition to win, and I still consider Manchester City as the biggest threat to Liverpool in August.
Arsenal has threatened, but Mikel Arteta knows that he has to improve his team with three or four quality addictions, or they will fail again.
However, Liverpool is in the luxury position not to come under pressure to buy.
Arne Slot entered a very healthy football club.
Normally you get large jobs when the roof leaks or if there is a constant drop. Liverpool was in good condition.
All the stars explored then, because no one expected that Manchester City would implode as they did and Arsenal, perhaps not unexpected, changed again in Premier League almost men.
Slot had time to evaluate the players he inherited and look at the young people he might not know. He will now understand what to improve to make them even stronger.
The most difficult part of the work for him, when he came through the door on the first day, would always convince Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk to stay. When he looked ahead to judge what Various signs were for us, he knew that was the most difficult task. But he then navigated and managed it well. Keeping the two, with their experience and performance levels, places the dressing room in a healthy position.
Liverpool has won this league title, not because they were lucky in patches, but like all the good champions, they are consistently good at dealing with the challenges with which they have confronted for nine hard months.
They won it because they earn it.
