Sturridge ready to be Liverpool's hero in Champions League final

Daniel Sturridge is ready to be Liverpool's hero in the Champions League final.

The striker's contract expires this summer and he will likely not receive an extension from the Reds.

With the final against Tottenham on June 1 set to be his last game for Liverpool, Sturridge wants to go out with a bang.

“To be successful you need to use the squad, everyone has a role to play," he told the club's website at the Reds' training camp in Marbella.

“If you look over the years at finals that have been played, there have been players who have hardly played any games that have scored goals or won tournaments for their countries or won finals for their teams, players who aren't on the pitch who come on and make a difference as well.

“So it's important for everybody to be tuned in to everything that's needed for the team to be successful next week."
