The Reds ended a 30-year wait to clinch the English title by amassing 99 points in 2019-20, following up their triumphs in the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup over the past two seasons.

“It was a long time coming,” Henry told Liverpoolfc.com. “Watching Jürgen get emotional made all of us emotional. It has been an emotional 10 years.

“Liverpool Football Club is a family and it’s really something extraordinary to be part of.

“I just want to say [to the supporters] that you’ve waited a long time for this and I know we all have to celebrate responsibly, but this really feels sort of like the gift that keeps on giving.

“Every day I get up, it’s front and centre that we won [in] England finally. So, that’s my wish for you, that every morning you get up for the next, as long as you can accomplish it, think about what we accomplished this year in Europe, England and I hope you feel as proud as I do.”

He continued: “The fact that we are champions of England, champions of Europe, the Club World Cup, the Super Cup is just an extraordinary accomplishment by this organisation and by these players.

“To be involved with that, to have been a part of it has really been the capstone of my career and I think all of us who have been a part of Fenway Sports Group.”

Henry went on to applaud the impact and influence of Jürgen Klopp and the team around the manager at Melwood for their dedication to making Liverpool successful.
