There were no fans inside Anfield to see Liverpool crowned champions for the first time in 30 years, but Jurgen Klopp and Jordan Henderson enjoyed what they both described as a special night.
The Reds won the Premier League for the first time in record time, with seven games to go, so had to wait a while to finally get their hands on the trophy.
There were fireworks on and off the pitch, as Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-3 before Henderson and the squad made their way onto a specially designed stage positioned on an empty Kop to lift the trophy.
Klopp knows how to celebrate and was fully involved, before revealing his pride at being the man to finally bring the title back to Anfield.
"Special. Absolutely special. We don't have to compare as we never have done it before," said the German.
"We all know it could have been different. It could have been worse, for example, if we never won the game.
"The boys gave us the opportunity to have a really special night. I think a lot of people thought before the game one team fights for the Champions League, the other team is maybe already on the beach.
🎉 It might be empty, but Anfield is absolutely BANGING.

"But these boys are so special. I could not be more proud. Throwing a performance like this in on the pitch tonight... it was an open game but nice, nice goals.
"Incredible goals, super footballing moments. I loved the game. We could enjoy it and we will enjoy the rest of the night."
Despite prior warning, thousands of fans gathered outside the ground and let off fireworks as the trophy presentation took place inside Anfield.
The squad, themselves, were heading off to a private party after the game but Klopp said: "We should all celebrate at home, drink what you want, prepare for a party when this bullsh** virus is over."
🍾 Jurgen Klopp does know how to celebrate doesn't he!

Jordan Henderson has led by example and has now lifted the Champions League, Super Cup, World Club Cup and Premier League as Liverpool captain lifted the trophy, surrounded by the squad and Klopp and his backroom staff on a specially-erected podium on the Kop.
"It was absolutely great. Absolutely great. It made it even more special that the families could be in the stadium for the trophy lift, they were not allowed in for the game," added Klopp.
"You want to share these moments with your loved ones - I had my loved ones around me with the staff and the players.

"You stand on the stage and there's no-one in the stadium - not no-one but not as many as you imagine - but the people who organised it made the absolute best of it.
"I was never before on the Kop, it was pretty special and I think it made sense with people not in to use it to celebrate together."
