This does not --ing slip now.

I will be the one lifting that trophy, not Paolo Maldini. Imagine me hoisting the trophy. It is an image I have in my mind and I want to make it a reality. We have world-class players and, believe me, they are in the mood to do it. The atmosphere around the club at the moment is just top-class.

I didn't sleep with the European Cup but it was in my room! It was just special and I just had to have the cup with me, lifting the cup as Liverpool captain was just the best moment of my life.

To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.

The fans have played a massive part in getting us to where we are, but the job's not finished.

Kenny Dalglish is a hero of mine and is the best player to ever wear a red shirt.

But I think the Champions League Final puts a massive pressure on every player and the manager, but we're enjoying the pressure and hopefully we can go there and win it.
