Liverpool is no longer burdened by its painful 30-year title drought and has written a new chapter in the club's history after becoming Premier League champions, manager Jurgen Klopp said Friday.

The club, which dominated English soccer in the 1970s and 1980s, last won the old First Division title in 1990, with five second-place finishes since then.

Seven different managers have tried and failed to recapture Liverpool's long-lost domestic glory before Klopp arrived in 2015 to — in his own words — turn the Merseyside club from "doubters into believers."
