The Reds secured the 2024 league crown with four matches to spare, a remarkable achievement under Slot's leadership following the departure of long-time manager Jurgen Klopp last summer. Reflecting on the transition and the team's success, Mac Allister expressed both pride and ambition.

"I didn't feel that we were going to win the league as easily as we did, because we are in a process that is just getting started," he told ESPN. "For many, it was a big change. The coach and the team know that we can continue to improve, and hopefully this is the beginning of something great."

Liverpool's domestic dominance has been built on consistency. With 25 wins and just three losses in their first 35 matches, they outpaced rivals Arsenal and Manchester City in both points and performance.

Luis Díaz, who has played a central role in the attack with 12 league goals, echoed Mac Allister's sentiments.

"Many people didn't believe in us, but we proved ourselves day after day," the Colombian international said. "We trusted the coach, and the team is full of great players. The results reflect the unity and belief in the project."

Mac Allister, in his second season at the club, has enjoyed a breakout campaign. The Argentine midfielder scored five league goals, including a pivotal strike in Liverpool's emphatic 5–1 victory over Tottenham on April 27 - the match that sealed the title.

"The goal against Tottenham is the most important of my career," said the 2022 World Cup winner. "It might not be the best goal I've scored, but it was the most meaningful. I feel I'm in the best moment of my career, and I've been able to show what I can do at this great club."

Despite their domestic success, Liverpool's European campaign ended in disappointment. The club were eliminated from the Champions League in the round of 16 by Paris Saint-Germain, losing on penalties after a 1–1 aggregate draw.

"We were unlucky in the draw," Mac Allister admitted. "We got a great team. Either side could have gone through to the semifinals. They were better on penalties, but next year we're going to fight again."

Díaz, too, acknowledged the emotional highs and lows of the season, highlighting the collective spirit within the squad.

"We are nothing without our teammates," he said. "It's been a time of great pride for me. I've always fought and worked hard, and thankfully the numbers have come with that effort."

Liverpool now prepare for their final league fixtures, including a marquee clash with Arsenal and a return to the Amex Stadium to face Mac Allister's former club Brighton on May 19. While the Premier League trophy is already secured, the club's focus is firmly on building long-term momentum.

With a new manager at the helm, a balanced mix of youth and experience, and a core of players hitting peak form, Liverpool appear poised not only to defend their domestic crown, but to push deeper into European competition in the seasons to come.
