Arne Slot had a request for Liverpool supporters after the Reds' open top bus parade got underway. The Dutchman succeeded Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield hot seat last year, and led his side to the Premier League title in his first season in charge.
Having clinched the title by thrashing Tottenham Hotspur last month, Liverpool were presented with the trophy on Sunday after they drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace in their final game of the season.
The celebrations continued into Bank Holiday Monday as the Reds embarked on an open top bus parade through the city, celebrating their latest piece of silverware with supporters.

Officially getting underway at 2.30pm, it did not take long for supporters to start chanting 'Campione, Campione!', much to the delight of Slot.
And a beaming Slot then wasted no time in urging the gathered fans to increase the volume and he was seen gesturing for them to chant even louder.
Slot had previously shared his excitement for the open top bus parade after the final whistle in Liverpool's draw with Palace.
“Another special day. Less pressure than four weeks ago, of course, when we had to win the game to get those special celebrations,” said the Liverpool head coach. “Now we knew we would get them.
“And, yeah, the energy in the stadium, how loud the fans were, the way the game ended in the last half hour, going down to 10 men and then seeing such a great reaction from the players and the fans, which led to, in my opinion, a deserved goal.
“We deserved to go 1-1 and, yeah, these players and these fans hate losing, don't want to lose. And that's what we showed today, again.
“How passionate these fans are for the club and how special it is to win something, let alone over here (is what I’ll remember most). I think I could feel today that it was 35 years ago that they were part of it.
“So it's only been five years ago that we won the league, but unfortunately the fans couldn't be there. Now they were and I think everybody could see what it means for the fans to win it and that is what makes it special.
“And in the end for us as well because you play football for yourself, for your family, but definitely also for the fans.
“We are privileged that we can play it in front of these because these ones are special, which are going to again show tomorrow.
“If other teams or clubs show the trophy in their city, then there are other people there, some great videos you can see. But I think this is again going to be next level!”
