The 2024/2025 Premier League season will go down in history as one of the most dramatic and surprising in recent memory. From start to finish, Liverpool set the tone for what would be their most dominant season in years. However, for some of the biggest clubs, it was a season of failures, disappointments, and underachievement. Here’s a recap of the most memorable moments of the season.
Liverpool – A Season of Pure Dominance
From the opening match, it was clear that Liverpool were ready to take control of the Premier League and not let go. Under the leadership of Arne Slot, the team was in a class of its own. They played an offensive, high-pressing style of football that was both thrilling and nearly unbeatable. The summer acquisitions of key players further strengthened the squad, and their balance between attack and defense was almost flawless.
With stars like Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz, and Darwin Núñez in top form, and a solid midfield performance from Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool was both effective and entertaining. It was a season where everything clicked – and they weren’t just winners in the tough matches but in those that should have been easy as well. For every opponent they faced, whether it was other Premier League giants or the smaller clubs, the story was the same: Liverpool were simply too strong and too fast.
As the season rolled to its conclusion, it came as no surprise that Liverpool stood as champions. They were a machine, cohesive in their play, and often dominant. The season became one of the most impressive in Premier League history, as they finished with record-high points.
Manchester United – A Disaster of Epic Proportions
While Liverpool were in top form, Manchester United were far from their usual self. After coming close to challenging for the title in previous seasons, expectations were high for Ruben Amorim and his men. But something went horribly wrong.
Preseason began promisingly, but when the league started, it was clear that the team couldn’t find any stability. Bruno Fernandes, the team’s creative engine, struggled to hold the midfield together, and the attack, despite stars like Marcus Rashford and Antony, lacked sharpness and coordination. The defense, with Harry Maguire constantly under scrutiny, was a continual source of concern.
Manchester United performed far below their usual standards and finished far from the top spots. Once considered one of the biggest and most prestigious clubs in the world, this season was a total failure – no title challenge, no Champions League spot, and an inability to even be consistent against the lower teams.
Tottenham Hotspur – New Season, Same Problems
For Tottenham, the 2024/2025 season was yet another disappointment. After targeting a top-four finish, few predicted that they would be so far off the mark. Despite a relatively strong squad and some impressive individual performances from Son Heung-min and James Maddison, Spurs were still vulnerable at the back and lacked the consistency needed to challenge for the top spots.
Manager Angelo Alessio, who arrived at the club with high hopes, couldn’t get the best out of his players, and trust in him quickly faded. Tottenham finished far from the Champions League places and failed to even secure a spot in the Europa League. But in the end they won the final in Europe League and secured a Champions League spot for next season.
Newcastle United – Stability Amidst Turbulence
One of the most stable teams this season was Newcastle United. Under the guidance of Eddie Howe, the club has slowly but surely built a team that can challenge the established giants. With heavy investments and a solid team structure, they showed that they are no longer a club just fighting relegation but one that is now firmly entrenched in the upper half of the table.
Newcastle played their best football in years and looked to be genuine contenders for a Europa League spot. With a strong defense and reliable players like Bruno Guimarães and Callum Wilson and a brilliant striker in Isak, they kept pace with the bigger clubs in the league and proved that they are on the right track.
Manchester City – A Season to Forget
After dominating the Premier League in recent years, Manchester City were far from their best in the 2024/2025 season. Pep Guardiola, despite his brilliant tactical ideas, couldn’t keep his team at the top throughout the season. The once-solid defense was nowhere near its usual level, and while players like Erling Haaland remained productive up front, the magic City is usually known for was absent.
City’s performances were uneven, and they lost several key matches, both at home and away. In the end, it became their worst season in years, failing to even qualify for the Champions League, which was a shock to anyone who had followed their recent dominance.
Summary
The 2024/2025 season was one of the most fascinating in Premier League history. Liverpool, with their dominant performance, showed that they were on a level above everyone else, while major clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham crumbled and fell short of expectations. Newcastle, on the other hand, demonstrated that stability leads to long-term success. For Manchester City, it was a reminder that even the biggest clubs can experience tough times.
With Liverpool as the rightful champions, the Premier League once again proved how quickly the landscape can change, and next season is sure to bring even more surprises and dramatic twists.
