Liverpool midfielder James Milner says they deserve a trophy as they prepare for the Champions League final.

A year ago in Kiev Jurgen Klopp's side endured a freakish 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid.

And ahead of the clash with Tottenham, Milner said: "What we did (against Barcelona) gives us a chance to go and redeem ourselves and get a piece of silverware because I think everyone deserves a bit of silverware.

"I think the team especially, these boys, how they grind out results.

"What we've been through in the last two weeks...I haven't got enough good words to say about the character within the squad, the ability and the mentality.

"The boys deserve a bit of silverware, but the fans do too.

"The fans have been unbelievable all year, they've lifted us when we've needed them, they've stuck with us when it's been tough in games."
