Jordan Henderson believes Jurgen Klopp's speech following Liverpool's Europa League final loss in 2016 has inspired their surprising Champions League run.

The Reds lost to Sevilla 3-1, with Henderson an unused substitute on the night. And the Liverpool skipper has revealed how Klopp's words at the team hotel after the game struck a chord with him and his teammates.

"We were obviously down but when we got back to the hotel the manager had something different to stay," he said.

"He looked at the bigger picture and the future and he felt as though it could be a big moment in our careers to learn from the experience.

"He had this sort of vision that made me think in the future we'd get to another final.

"He wanted to use the experience of that final to keep us together and use it as a positive. If we got to another final we'd be ready.

"At that moment I sensed that he could see that he was confident about getting to another final.

"I can't remember word-for-word but he had something about him that felt it was the start of something, something he felt he could take forward and definitely get the team to another final.

"I definitely remember that night. I think you can see how he has taken the team forward since then has been fantastic."
