Rio Ferdinand says the one thing about Liverpool all Man Utd fans will not want to hear
LIVERPOOL winning the Champions League is just the start of a successful, trophy-laden, period for the club.
Champions League: Ferdinand admits game was ‘entertaining’
That is according to Manchester United legend and BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand.
Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi.
It is their sixth European Cup/Champions League triumph and Jurgen Klopp’s first piece of silverware as Reds boss.
Liverpool were not at their fluent best on the night but Ferdinand says that does not matter.
This could be the start of a successful period of winning trophies for this club
And he can see plenty more trophies heading to Liverpool in the near future.
“I did [predict 2-0],” Ferdinand said.
“Listen, it wasn’t the most entertaining game.
“But we’ve all played in finals and it’s about getting over the line and winning the trophy.
“Not one of them fans, not one of them players, will care how they played today.
"They got the job done.
“Klopp’s been to many finals and been on the losing side.
“To get over the line by any means necessary is the way to do it.
“This season they’ve been fantastic, if they’d finish this season without a trophy it would have been a devastating blow for this football club.
“Now this could be the start of a successful period of winning trophies for this club.
“They’re set up, they’re primed for it.”
