Jordan Henderson admitted it was almost impossible to see beyond the pain of Champions League final defeat, which came in the cruellest possible manner.
Yet after a season where Liverpool came so agonisingly close to an historic quadruple, the skipper insisted that when the heartbreak of a Real Madrid smash-and-grab on the trophy had subsided, his side would be back for more. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp told the club’s supporters to book their hotels for the Champions League final in Istanbul next season, such is his faith in the team responding.
And Henderson agreed: “To be fair the manager in these situations is really good and he can see the bigger picture. He is so good in these moments. As players it's really difficult. It will take a little bit of time for us, it’s so hard to assess so close to a devastating defeat.
