“The celebrations that are going to happen tonightThe season we’ve had we’ve deserved it more than any other team. An early goal and a late goal has finished them off. We’ve probably been dominated through the main part of the game, but we’ve shown we’re a world-class side and can win anyway.When we look back on tonight we’re not going to think it’s a sluggish team, we’re going to think we’ve won the European cup.It’s hard to think of myself as a legend. I’m just a normal lad from Liverpool whose dream’s just come true.
