That's it. Liverpool win the battle but not the war.
The force just wasn't with them today as Man City came from behind and destroyed Brighton 4-1 to win the Premier League.
Still it's been a fantastic title race and to come so close will be hard for Liverpool to take.
This season Liverpool have lost just one match.
Alisson has kept the most clean sheets (21)
Salah and Mane are tied golden boot winners with 22 goals.
And they've finished second with 97 points.
What a Premier League season it's been. The race for the title came down to the very last day as Man City and Liverpool went toe-to-toe.
Looking back Liverpool will probably look to the two draws with Man Utd and Everton but in the head-to-heads, Man City took four out of a possible six points off Liverpool.
