As well as the joy and jubilation, there is a certain relief and release of weight from the shoulders that many of us have carried for years, particularly those who are "younger" and never were old enough to appreciate a title win.
This video encapsulates that incredibly well and certainly stirs the Soul, whilst coupling our events with those of Klopp, who truly made us believe again.
Best of all, given what this club inspires in us all and how well we galvanised after the Karius final, the faith I have that this side has plenty left to give is unshakeable.
Roll on 20/21.

Decent effort by BT sport.
Football focus is just starting
99 points!
We won't tally up anywhere near as many points in 20/21 as we did in 19/20, but if we somehow were to manage to win the League given the injury list, I honestly think it might prove to be an even bigger achievement.
Cannot believe what we're doing thus far. It's ridiculous.
25 games left. A LONG time. But a decent shot in the arm tonight.

I think if you had told us all before a ball was kicked what our injury list was going to be like, we would all have been very pleasantly surprised at how the league table looks tonight.
If we manage to retain the title this year it will be the greatest ever considering the problems we've had. Plus we're owed a celebration.
So here we are after 21 League matches in the 21/22 season, with the manager having had to us TWELVE different centre-back pairings in the League, with 17 League matches (and possibly more pairings) to come.
Season-ending(?) injuries to Gomez and Van Dijk. Lengthy injuries to Thiago and Jota, who arrived to take us up another level. Illness and injury problems for Tsimikas who arrived to take some of the workload off the tireless Robertson. The seemingly endless niggly issues for Ox and Keita - our two midfielders most willing to drive forward and dribble - leading to Jones getting more game time. Signs of dips in form and confidence for key players in the system like Trent and the subsequent bouncing back from the set-back. Re-shuffles of the midfield to accommodate centre-back coverage. Players having to quarantine due to positive Covid-19 tests.
It would have been easy to wilt and we may not be out of the woods yet, but underestimate this cohesive unit at your peril. Whether it's injury or two banks of four, we keep fighting to find a way.
The season isn't quite panning out as effortlessly as we may have hoped for, but it's shining the spotlight on the inner strength of this team and they have circled the wagons.
I absolutely love this lot.
