Liverpool players raise Premier League trophy in front of Klopp

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool's players have finally got their hands on the Premier League trophy — and Jurgen Klopp was back at Anfield to enjoy the celebrations.

The Reds clinched a record-tying 20th English top-flight title on April 27 but had to wait a month to receive the trophy after their final game of the season — a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Klopp, who left as Liverpool manager at the end of last season, returned to Anfield for its campaign-ending party. The German was seen clapping and smiling as the team's players, starting with captain Virgil van Dijk to a backdrop of fireworks and ticker tape, lifted the trophy.
