Taking the lead, that was the hard part. To concede after that was a massive disappointment - not good enough.

How can I think of leaving Liverpool after a night like this?

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

I'm born in Liverpool, I'm a Liverpool supporter.

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.

It will be the proudest moment of my life leading Liverpool out. I've dreamed of this day since I was a kid, kicking a ball against the wall in the street where I lived. What could be better than leading Liverpool out for the Champions League final? Only lifting the trophy. We need everyone, all 11 players who start and the subs, to be ready to give everything. We need that mentality, when everyone has to put everything on the line for Liverpool. That is what it will take to win. We have to make sure we don't have any regrets at the final whistle.

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