– I’m crushed – NRK Sport – Sports news, results and broadcast schedule

– I’m obviously disappointed. I’m crushed, says Jordan Henderson, an hour and a half after leaving the field as a losing Champions League finalist. He is only the second Liverpool player of the evening to cast his gaze sideways and up from the concrete downstairs of the mighty Stade de France. Henderson takes time for a stop in front of British media, VG and NRK. – We could not find the way to the net masks. We just could not get the luck we needed, says Henderson. The Reds captain played 77 minutes against Real Madrid. He contributed to the fact that they had an advantage on the field for a long time, but failed to prevent a new final loss against the Spaniards, as it was in 2018. – It is still difficult to cope with it. It’s hard to talk about it. It felt like we had 3-4 good chances. But there were no goals of the chances. Thibaut Courtois stood as a wall for Real Madrid, and at the other end put Vinicius Jr. the only goal of the match. The body language and the way Henderson speaks oozes disappointment. A few weeks ago, there was talk that Liverpool could win four titles in the 2021/22 season. The FA Cup and the League Cup had already been collected. Last Sunday, the Premier League title was lost after a huge turnaround operation from Manchester City against Aston Villa. – We have given everything And late Saturday night, the players realized that there were no more than two trophies. – We have given everything all season, and we can not do more than that, Henderson says.

They were going back. – To be honest, he is very good in these situations. He sees the bigger picture. As a player, it is more difficult, but we will use this to get better and stronger, says Henderson, who says that Klopp took the floor in the locker room after the match. Conducts parade Sunday – He said what we’re talking about. We have given everything all season in every tournament. Sometimes you do not get what you deserve, which was the case tonight. Klopp comforted Henderson and the rest of the players on the grass after the match. The English 31-year-old was among those most visibly affected by the loss. However, he hopes that in a few weeks they will be able to look back on the season as something positive, even though it seems difficult now. COMFORTED: Jürgen Klopp handed out hugs to his players after the match.

I really hope everyone who has the opportunity to come to Liverpool is there tomorrow and celebrates the fantastic season we have had together, says a revenge-hungry Klopp after the match.
