Lazio midfielder Lucas Leiva insists he has no regrets about leaving Liverpool.

The Brazilian's ten year stint at Anfield ended in 2017, with Leiva missing out on two Champions League finals.

He told Liverpool's official website: "The year after I left, we lost in the [Champions League] final. I met the boys here in Rome [for the 2018 semi-final]. But, of course, [to win it] I was really happy, to be honest.

"My son, my family, we are Liverpool fans now.

"It's a great achievement and I'm just really happy because so many people there I am still in touch with and still care a lot about.

"Of course, you always think, 'Had I waited one more year…' but, to be honest, I wasn't happy. When you are not happy it makes no sense so, to be honest, it's better I see Liverpool winning and I'm happy as well playing.

"As a fan I'm really happy. Of course, I would like to have won it but I won it as a fan, let's say."
