I have always applied myself the same for club and country.

We've proved a lot of people wrong so far but the job is not finished yet and if we come home from Istanbul empty handed then it would be a disaster.

As club captain all I want to do is help us get back up the table and into the Champions League.

When I die, don't bring me to the hospital. Bring me to Anfield. I was born there and will die there.

The last player you want the ball to go to is the best player on the planet.

Football is all about winning things as a team but it's also important to pick up individual awards along the way.

We were massive underdogs at the beginning of the competition and I'll put my hands up say and I didn't think we were going to go all the way. But, as you can see, we are never beaten. The manager told us to keep our chins up, to try and score early in the second half and give some respect for the fans. The first goal gave us a bit of belief. The supporters have saved up for weeks and months to come here. I am so happy to lift the cup for the fans.
