LOS ANGELES - Watching Liverpool win their first Premier League title, American Liverpool fan Phil Hughes stated that he hasn’t been this happy since he discovered the team during their Champions League run in 2019.

First a champions league victory and then this? What else is there to win!? No seriously, is there anything else?

“It’s been a long time, this drought,” stated Hughes to The Nutmeg News, “but at long last we can claim our moment in the sun.”

According to friends and family, Hughes decided to follow Liverpool after watching them play in the 2019 Champions League campaign.

“Since then he’s been a passionate fan,” stated good friend David Thornberry. “He really has tried to watch some of the games this season despite having to get them from illegal streaming sites.”

Hughes stated that he would gladly add in a Premier League champions scarf to his den as he passionately talked about his connection to the team.

“I’ve always liked some Beatles songs that my grandpa played for me so it just makes sense,” stated Hughes. “I didn’t even know that they had a city you could visit. Amazing. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit one day when they lift the ban on allowing Americans into the country.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hughes rubs this victory in the face of friend and Manchester City fan Darryl Sanders who started following the team two years ago when he was listening to a lot of Oasis.
