Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says celebrating their title win is important for his players.
Klopp has insisted he was ready to take criticism for images of his squad all partying together - because he knew it was the right thing to do after “the most extraordinary year" of their lives.
“That was the minimum that we had to do. You couldn't or I cannot imagine how it would have been had we been all alone at home," he said.
“Yes, with our families but still kind of alone and not with the players together, how that would have felt. So it was perfect. It was perfectly organised."
Klopp revealed that only those people at the training ground who have been tested for coronavirus for the past month were present at the celebration, and no hotel staff were allowed near.
But he accepts there may be criticism.
“I was not involved in the planning but I didn't say no we can not do it. So yes, we decided about that after the Crystal Palace game, and yes I thought it was important," he said.
“I can understand if people question it, but we are in a bubble and we are all tested twice a week. No other person was in there, no kitchen staff from the hotel - nobody, only us, who are now tested for five weeks, twice a week and no positive case so far.
“If people want to criticise that, then that's my life, I have to take these kind of things always, but we thought it's OK to do so."
