Henderson: “The lads have given everything”

Jordan Henderson insists that the Liverpool squad regret nothing about their season as they look ahead to the Champions League final on June 1.

Jurgen Klopp’s side pushed Manchester City all the way to the final day of the Premier League season but were ultimately left disappointed, despite beating Wolves 2-0.

But the skipper remains proud of his team for the monumental effort they put in throughout the campaign.

“It’s obviously disappointing,” Henderson told Liverpoolfc.com.

“We always believed that, until the last day, if we kept doing what we were doing then we’d maybe [win it] so it’s disappointing, obviously.

“But I think after a few days, when we’ve got time to reflect, I think we’ll be proud of how we’ve performed this season and how we’ve pushed City right until the very end.

“They’re an amazing team so they deserve it, congratulations to them. We’ve pushed them all the way and hopefully next year we’ll come back even stronger.

“It’s been a great battle right until the end. Unfortunately it’s difficult walking around, saying thank you to the fans and we’ve got nothing to give back to them because they’ve been outstanding all season.

“It’s hard and they’ve been amazing, but hopefully we can give them something in the Champions League final in a few weeks.

“Our focus needs to change to that quickly. The next few days will be tough when we’ve got time to reflect, but football moves quickly and you’ve got to re-focus and think about the future.

“After giving everything in midweek it was always going to be difficult, but we did the job we needed to do and that was win the game.

“I’ve got to say the lads have given everything. We can have no regrets, we’ve given everything for every game this season but unfortunately City were better.”
