Liverpool fullback Robertson: We can be proud of our season

Liverpool fullback Andy Robertson says the club can be proud of their Premier League season.

Manchester City only beat the Reds to the title by one point on the last day of the campaign.

Considering Liverpool finished with 97 points, Robertson thinks they can proud of such an achievement.

The Scotland international told the club's website: "This team has been tested all season and people have questioned whether we can keep up with City, keep going with our title charge and keep going in the Champions League - 'Should we concentrate on one of them?' Of course we just fell short in the Premier League but we did keep up with Man City.

"We took them right until the last day and they won it by a point. I think I said after the game, credit goes to them but we did push them and we had a hell of a season and, of course, disappointment. But [it's] one we can look back on with pride when the time comes.

Robertson's side can clinch the Champions League by beating Tottenham on Saturday, and the 25-year-old thinks they deserve to win a trophy.

He added: "Now we need to try to go and get a trophy because we feel that [with] everything we've put in this season then it would be amazing to cap it off like that.

"The way the fans have conducted themselves this season as well, they deserve a trophy after the disappointment of last season and obviously the last day of this season. We hope that we can do that for them and we hope we can do it for the club. That's got to be our motivation."
