- Alisson Becker expressed the need for the current team to create its own legacy, separate from the achievements of Jurgen Klopp's side.
- The team is keen on further improving and writing a new history, demonstrating their commitment to success.
In England, Arne Slot's Liverpool secured a dominant 5-0 victory against West Ham United, maintaining their lead at the top of the Premier League as they closed in on the new year. The match was held on December 29, 2024, and marked the 19th gameweek for Slot's side, though they only played 18 matches due to a postponed game. Players Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo needed to avoid bookings to feature against Manchester United in their next match, and Slot delayed substitutions despite calls for earlier changes after scoring four goals. Alisson Becker emphasized the need for the team to develop its own identity and not dwell on comparisons with the successful team managed by Jurgen Klopp, which previously won the Champions League and Premier League. Becker noted that although there are veteran players from that era, the style of play has evolved, fostering a new philosophy under Slot, who has invigorated the squad with fresh talents. The victory over West Ham not only showcased their potential but also encapsulated the team's ambition to write their own chapter in the club's storied history.
