It’s a dream come true to play in the final. It’s massive. It’s going to be a tough game, we all know that, but we can beat any team in the world.
Honestly when I was young my dream was to play in the Champions League. I watched a few finals. To have chance to play… I’m just going to enjoy it and get that trophy.”

Anfield Expansion:
Liverpool’s Chief Executive Peter Moore has spoken about potential plans to expand Anfield with the ability to host music concerts. The current capacity of Anfield is just over 54,000 with the addition of the Main Stand.
Moore: “We will continue to invest in Anfield. As a club we have to look at how we can better facilitate visits to make them even more special than they currently are.
Revenue is critically important, but so is the continued modernisation of Anfield. We will continue to look at the feasibility for any proposed Anfield Road expansion over the coming months and years.”
An expansion into the Anfield Road end of the stadium is likely to increase the capacity to over 60,000.
