When Liverpool finally lifted their 19th league title recently, ending their 30-year wait for the domestic title, the runaway champions deserved the winner’s medal without any shadow of a doubt. 99 points and 32 wins from 38 games leaves little room for argument.
The consistency shown in the last 24 months has been simply remarkable. In the league, this team has amassed 196 points from the last 76 games, at an average of 2.57 points per game. The boost the domination in the Premier League performance of the last two seasons has been added to by a Club World Cup, a European Super Cup and the little matter of a sixth Champions League success. Champions of England, Europe and the world!

Furthermore, it is clear that the chasing pack will do everything to close the gap, be it by buying players during the transfer market and hoping for the right kind of impact, or tactically finding ways to beat this machine of a team. Chelsea have already started on that note by signing Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and most probably Kai Havertz.
