Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino says the club's bus parade at the end of last season helped ease the pain of losing the Champions League final.

Just a day after losing to Real Madrid in the final, thousands of Liverpool supporters lined the streets to celebrate the club winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup during the 2021/22 season.

"It helped me a lot," Firmino told Liverpool's matchday programme.

"Personally speaking, I was really hurting after losing another final and it was an incredible feeling to see such a welcome from all the fans there to celebrate with us.

"We had won two trophies, of course, which is worth celebrating. It was really rewarding. I'm grateful to God for our fans, for their effort and the constant support they always provide us with.

"It was an incredible experience for us. It served to motivate and strengthen us even further in preparation for this coming season.

"We'd already experienced a parade when we won the Champions League. That was a unique day, but once again the fans showed how much they love and support us to do our best. It was another incredible day that I'll remember forever, an important moment in my life story."
