Its personal to me, I was there as a kid watching and been there as a player. It brings back a lot of memories.They achieved something insurmountable in many respects. They lost [Roberto] Firmino and [Mohamed] Salah, they were unlucky in the last game, [Manchester] City had won last night, how they picked themselves up to produce that energy and quality is amazing.
