If the primary reason for Liverpool celebrations in recent weeks has been to reward the players and staff for their hard work, there is also an underlying one, aimed at those watching from the outside.
After the Reds were crowned as Premier League champions by dismantling Tottenham 5-1 on April 27, the post-match images created were the sort that will live long in the memory.
From there, the players were granted some time off to bask in the afterglow of their achievement.
A trip to Dubai was arranged as a squad, while Arne Slot himself soaked up the atmosphere in Ibiza.

Upon his return that week, Slot revealed the reason for granting the time off, saying: "Normally, especially in this league, but in general – even in Holland – the last game is really special.
"You should watch it.
It's about the last game and normally in this league it's also about the last game.
So, we were having the great position that not only we won it earlier on already, but also we've played on Sunday and then the next game is on Monday."
The Premier League trophy presentation, the celebrations that continued on the pitch long after the final whistle and subsequent city-wife trophy parade, attended by 1.5m people, that followed last Monday may have been important in winning the hearts and minds of those with uncertain futures within the squad, but they also served an external purpose too.
"Oooooo!
It can't have failed to have left an impression, particularly given it did just that with players from other clubs.
"Of course I saw that [parade]," new signing Jeremie Frimpong revealed after being confirmed as a Liverpool player on Friday.
