Trent Alexander-Arnold gave an inspiring interview after Liverpool won the European Cup for the sixth time with a 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid.
The 20-year-old, who is a graduate of Liverpool’s academy, made 11 appearances during Liverpool’s triumphant Champions League campaign.
The Reds claimed victory at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium thanks to Mohamed Salah’s second-minute penalty and substitute Divock Origi’s late strike.

Speaking to BT Sport at full-time, Alexander-Arnold said: ‘It’s hard to even put into words what’s just happened. The celebrations that are gonna happen tonight.
‘The 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.’
The right-back has been named in Gareth Southgate’s England squad ahead of the UEFA Nations League Finals later this month.
