Federico Chiesa and his Liverpool team-mates celebrate with the Premier League trophy
Federico Chiesa has reacted after winning the Premier League title with Liverpool in his first season at the club. The Italian has been limited to a bit-part role since his £10m move from Juventus last summer.
Making 14 appearances in all competitions, only six of his outings have come in the English top-flight while he had to wait until the penultimate game of the season away to Brighton & Hove Albion to be handed his first Premier League start by Arne Slot.
Chiesa was left out of the matchday squad for Liverpool’s final game of the season as they came from behind to draw 1-1 with Crystal Palace.

But that did not stop him from being at the heart of the celebrations, albeit perhaps somewhat sheepishly, as the Liverpool squad celebrated being presented with the trophy with supporters.
Handed the trophy in front of the Kop, his team-mates kept urging him to repeatedly hold it aloft to supporters before jumping on top of him and joining fans in an impromptu rendition of the Italian’s catchy, x-rated chant.
Chiesa would later post pictures of himself lifting the Premier League trophy in front of the Kop on social media, along with snaps of him celebrating in front of the stand with his partner and friends.
And he would post a two-word message on social media along with the pictures, writing: “Anfield Road” along with a love heart emoji.
Chiesa is one of a number of players who faces an uncertain future at Liverpool after a season on the fringes.
And speaking after the draw with Crystal Palace, Reds head coach Slot admitted he needed to speak to a number of his players who had been limited to bit-part roles to find out their future plans.
“If we need to strengthen the team, we will,” he said. “I don't know yet if all the players who didn't play that much this season will all want to stay, yes or no.
“This is something we will find out in the upcoming weeks.”
