Liverpool fell behind against Tottenham on Sunday, with Dominic Solanke heading the visitors in front as they threatened to ruin the celebrations.
But goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah - and a Destiny Udogie own goal - propelled them to victory.
Slot, reacting to his side's title triumph, said in his post-match press conference: "Very, very happy, of course, but to a certain extent also quite unreal because you work so hard for this moment to happen and when it then does happen, it needs some time for you to truly feel it.
"But the fans were so happy that it didn't take us long, didn't take me long to understand what we've achieved together this season."

"We all know what happened around Tottenham one or two years ago, so now to win it against them is quite special.
"The [person] I was with was my sporting director at Cambuur Leeuwarden where I worked back then, he showed me that we were visiting a match from the U21s where Trent [Alexander-Arnold] and Joe [Gomez] were involved in that game. So, a special day and not the first time I was here when we played Tottenham."
