Liverpool will return to the UEFA Youth League in 2024/25 season after Jurgen Klopp's first-team secured a top-four finish in the Premier League
As the full-time whistle sounded at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night, it wasn't just Mauricio Pochettino celebrating Chelsea's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
However, after finishing four points behind Newcastle United last season and therefore having to settle for a first campaign in the Europa League since 2015 this time around, Klopp was keen to stress the importance of Liverpool's accomplishment. Even if it wasn't part of the 'dream' farewell envisioned back in January when he announced that he would be stepping away at the end of the campaign.
Yet, it will have been at Liverpool's Kirkby Academy and perhaps not the boardroom where this week's return to the top table of European football was most celebrated, with Liverpool now assured of a place in the 2024/25 UEFA Youth League. "We have relied on the qualification of the first team to get there, so we have been unbelievably grateful to them for the work they've done over the last few years.
"It’s brilliant, the whole experience of it," said Lewtas of the Youth League in September 2022. "Some of the new players won’t have played in this competition before, so it will be their first experience of travelling away with us and representing the football club. Included in that number are Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones, who collectively featured in four editions, and have since gone on to make over 400 appearances for the Reds. Captain of the 2022-23 team Jarell Quansah is also one of the renowned success stories, making a further 29 appearances for Liverpool since his debut at Newcastle United back in August.
