In case you didn't know, Liverpool are Premier League champions for the first time in their 128-year history.Jurgen Klopp's side finally lifted the crown that has eluded them last night at Anfield after beating Chelsea 5-3.It was a fitting penultimate game to what has been one of the greatest seasons by a team in the history of English football.Picking a standout player from the Reds' 'Class of 2019/20' is mighty tough, as there are just so many viable candidates.Jordan Henderson has been Captain Fantastic, Virgil van Dijk has resembled an immovable object, Sadio Mane has torn opposing defences to shreds and Alisson Becker has established himself as arguably the world's best goalkeeper.
All of them are worthy winners of the PFA Player of the Year award - as is Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne - but I believe the one man who should lift the Premier League's most prestigious individual accolade is none other than Trent Alexander-Arnold.Forget just the Young Player of the Year award - which he will all but certainly win - the guy deserves more.Born and bred in the heart of Liverpool, the right-back's influence over Klopp's title-winning side is unprecedented.The 21-year-old has been world-class in both defence and attack, notching 13 assists this season in 37 games - the most by a defender in a single Premier League season.
His unique positioning and influence on the right-hand side of Liverpool's attack is arguably the key cog in machine that is this all-conquering Reds side.
When was the last time a right-back had such an influence in a top side? Dani Alves at Barcelona, that's the name that springs to mind and the Brazilian's legacy is what Alexander-Arnold will be targeting in the coming years.
But the one thing that the two players share in common is their unique ability to dominate a game from the right-hand side of defence.
Alves delivered such displays many a time, even in El Clasicos and Alexander-Arnold embodied the all-action defender to a tee against Leicester on Boxing Day.
This was Trent's masterpiece, a performance unlike any other I have seen in all my years of watching Premier League football.
I've seen great midfielders and attackers dominate games, but seldom have I seen a right-back take a match by the scruff of the neck in the manner with which Alexander-Arnold did so at the King Power Stadium.
One goal, two assists and a clean sheet are the standout statistics, but there was so much more to admire from the Scouse defender that evening.
He was the link between midfield and attack, operating as almost a false number 10 - as well as a right-back - to brush aside a team who at the time were challenging Liverpool for top spot.
I could wax lyrical about that display at Leicester all day, but I won't, as that would be a disservice to Alexander-Arnold's plethora of other achievements throughout the season.
Goals in both games against Chelsea, assists against Wolves, Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton, the man has done it all in 2019/20.
Sure, he's been aided by Henderson's selfless support from midfield and Van Dijk's aura of invincibility alongside him, but Alexander-Arnold's match-winning influence has been Liverpool's most innovative catalyst for success.
Gary Lineker tweeted last night that the 21-year-old is "almost too good for the position" and you know what, he might be onto something...
