Liverpool star Jordan Henderson has revealed the words of manager Jurgen Klopp after their Champions League final loss last term.

The Reds were pipped narrowly by Real Madrid in the final in Paris, while they also lost the Premier League to Manchester City by an extremely tight margin.

Asked about the team's morale going into this season, which they have not started in the best way, Henderson maintains they are all up for the challenge.

“Obviously everyone was disappointed but the gaffer said how proud he was of every one and what we achieved that season," the captain told the Liverpool ECHO.

“To get into the final of the Champions League, to win the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup and to take the Premier League to the last day of the season was a huge achievement in itself.

“Of course it was disappointing to not win the Champions League but overall we were really proud of what we had achieved in that season.

“I think there's numerous things that have led to our start this year. Obviously injuries haven't helped but I don't want to make excuses.

“It hasn't been the start that we would have hoped for but there is still a long way to go and hopefully, now after the international break, we can really kickstart our season."
