It seems as though there's a perpetual state of heartbreak in this world. Every time something good happens, a hundred other bad things do too.

And now with the current military and trade wars and conflicts raging in many places around the globe, things seem to be apocalyptic; the entire world is on pause.

There are things people hold on to during these times, and football is one of them for me. I'm an ardent Liverpool FC (LFC) fan, and the frustrating part of this fantastic team is that it has no shortage of would-be heart attacks. LFC is a team with an immense history, from Bob Paisley, Bill Shankly and Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot.

And right in the middle of these crazy times, the Reds got knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). I don't think I've ever cried as much as I did in that moment. The six-time European champions were knocked out because of one silly, silly mistake. Why did it hurt so much?

But, to compensate, 5 years after last becoming champions of England, Liverpool have deservedly won that title again.

Liverpool is a football place. The passion for the game flows through the entire maritime town. On April 15, 1989, the city was left in shock after a tragedy in the Hillsborough stadium killed 96 fans due to a lack of police control. The disaster shook the city to its very core. Things just weren't the same after that. Liverpool was hurting, and at the same time, money grew more and more important in football.

Against Tottenham, Liverpool won their first (20 titles in all now) league title in front of supporters for 35 years, and no number of millionaires haggling distracted from the celebration.

It's an incredible experience. That final whistle sounded at Anfield, and Liverpool were officially declared better than the rest. Untouchable. Champions of England. Breathe that in.

The Premier League title and accompanying party have remained the Holy Grail for supporters.

There is a worry in some quarters, though, that the celebrations could be somewhat tainted by uncertainty over the future of one or two of Liverpool's most important players. Angst exists over the expiring contract of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is almost definitely leaving. If Alexander-Arnold prefers personal accolades over team glory in a team game, let him pursue it. In the long term, Liverpool are always better off as a unit working for each other.

We can debate the merits and downsides of every conceivable outcome, but one thing is certain: we can't allow it to distract from what is a triumphant moment for the club, and it most certainly won't.

At the start of the season, just one of 30 BBC Sport pundits thought Liverpool would finish in the top two, with 23 of them predicting the Reds to finish third, a position with which most fans would have agreed.

Jürgen Klopp's exit created understandable fear that there would be a drop-off.

While most didn't foresee the sort of fall experienced by Arsenal or Man United when Arsène Wenger and Alex Ferguson left, to improve on last year's points tally seemed pretty far-fetched, especially considering only Federico Chiesa had been added to the squad.

Arne Slot, though, has done an excellent job of providing continuity from the last regime at the same time as putting his own spin on the Reds' tactics.

There have also been fewer injuries with which to contend, and while Liverpool did appear to be tiring like last season, the 12-point advantage built at the top meant we would be celebrating quite some time before the end of the season.

Liverpool isn't just any old football team. Liverpool has added a whole new dimension to the phrase 'coming back with a bang'.

But Slot and his team will need to adapt to the changing circumstances this summer.

Football transcends. It's so much more than simply 22 blokes kicking a ball around a field for 90 minutes. It's watching the match on a weekend and being filled with happiness, regardless of what is going on in life. It's a safe place with no limitations on love and passion.

And so the crowds swelled outside Anfield, and fireworks cracked away at the darkness until morning's first light as Liverpool reclaimed a piece of its soul.

It was needed. Celebrating a team that themselves can't stop celebrating. It's human nature to need one another, and nothing facilitates that process much better than football.

Not simply waiting but yearning for another Premier League title was a whole experience in and of itself. Truth be told, Liverpool had this in the bag for some time, but that mathematical certainty was the key. Football's strangely altered new landscape was never going to take the shine off that. History will hold up this side as one of the finest to rule the beautiful game.

So think of the bad times, the hard times, the times when a club did seem lost, when dominating English football again was put on hold.

There's a side at the top, with games still to play yet already solidified in gold, a capital C by its name. It's going nowhere.

Liverpool FC is back on its perch.

And that is ultimately what we, Liverpool fans in the UK, Malta and around the world, are all in it for: the jubilation of scoring goals, winning games and ultimately lifting trophies.
