Chelsea were very strong favorites before the first leg but we got a good result and now they are only slight favorites. We have bridged the gap.

The chances of catching Chelsea are gone. They have a great side and they don't lose too many or even draw too many. It's a fight for second now.

This is the best club in the world with the best fans, so I'm very proud to be a Liverpool player for the next four years and hopefully even longer,

I believe we can look forward to the day when we win the title.

At the end of the day it's only a semifinal and the Cup is still there to be won.

To captain Liverpool in any game is special, but to do it in a final, particularly an occasion like this, would be one of the proudest nights of my life,
