joining us now here andy robertson andy
thanks so much for coming to join us
congratulations on so far an incredible
season but just talk us through the
emotions if you can of today what you
knew what you found out and when yeah
look it's obviously been a roller
coaster
we knew man city were were no down at
half time but our result wasn't good
enough and then we knew we had to play
better we needed we knew we needed to
calm down a wee bit show a bit more
composure and we tried to do that second
half um at times probably didn't look
likely we were going to score but then
we get in front and then you know we
knew something wasn't quite right
because you know obviously the two goals
we scored weren't
you know weren't celebrated by a team
that were going to win the premier
league so obviously flattened down and
then you know obviously somebody decided
to cheer thinking it was three each when
it wasn't and but you know we quickly
knew that there wasn't that and so when
when you knew our game was in the bag
and made one three one then you know
all our ears were on the side of the
pitch and seen what was happening but um
you know we've been beat by a fantastic
team andy going into today we were
talking before the game trying to work
out whether or not nerves at your level
even play a part did it feel different
before you went into this game
to be honest before the game we were
fine during the game we probably got a
bit worse to be honest and just with
everything going on going on you know
the fans are kind of half watching your
game half on their phones half on the
radio stuff like that so you know it's
it's like you can't you can't prepare
for that you know and um before the game
we were absolutely fine i think we
started really well and then obviously
as things started to develop we ended up
one no down obviously which isn't great
and then but then i thought we dealt
with really well managed to compose our
sale managed to get the goals we needed
but
unfortunately um aston villa couldn't
hold on
andy you've won a cup double your point
behind man city what are you getting
klopp's head after in terms of where you
are this season obviously champions
league to come
you just said he's extremely proud of us
and um
you know we can't really you know i'm
extremely proud to play for this club
and play with this team because it's a
fantastic bunch of boys fantastic group
of staff that we all push in the right
direction and we're falling short an
incredible team today you know man city
are fantastic deserve everything they're
going to get deserved champions and then
you know two no down last day of the
season a game you need to win you come
back wednesday so that takes
that takes a lot you know and big
players show up in big moments and i
don't think i'll be watching the goals
to be honest with you but
i'm sure they were fantastic quality and
fair play to guardiola and all their
team because they deserve it always i
always say you know you get what you
deserve during the season and you know
they're deserved champions andy um try
and try and describe what's going
through your head you're going around
here there's all sorts of mixed emotions
going on you won the game and you're
you've won two trophies but you lost the
title race and you're in the champions
league on saturday i mean what's going
through your head when you're walking
around with your families it's a
brilliant kind of lap of appreciation
from the fans yeah looking we had the
experience of that you know the last
wheels game the 97.98 point you know the
the send-off we got for madrid was
incredible and
you know when we walked off the pitch
and obviously the changing room was you
know pretty flat but then we slowly
picked to sail up you see your kids you
see your families and that always makes
you smile you know a club legend's
leaving in divock oregon you have to say
you know you have to give him the send
off they you know thoroughly deserve so
and these fans have packed out anfield
every single every single game away and
every single every game and you have to
say thanks to them you know
they've been incredible all season and
we're disappointed for them that we've
fallen short but
you know we've gave it an incredible
effort you know 91 points just tried to
fight for every point you know a good
bit behind in january just started
fighting for everything and um we've
gave it a hell of a fight but we've just
fallen short and next season we need to
be ready to go again yeah and a
brilliant season i know this is
disappointing but the resilience of this
team has stood out all season and it has
for the last few seasons
the treble is still on how long will
jurgen klopp give you to kind of
handle this one just tonight maybe
tomorrow and then back at it yeah look i
think tonight tomorrow we've got a day
off tomorrow and then we're back in
tuesday so tuesday for focus we'll be on
madrid and feel focused on paris you
know it's a incredible game to be
involved in a massive game and you can't
you know you can't dwell on this but
tonight we'll you know we'll set home
and
we'll obviously go through everything in
our heads it's only natural and tomorrow
we'll you know try and dust ourselves
down get our bodies ready everything's
right then tuesday we'll focus on madrid
the premier league will be forgotten
about until we're on holiday and i'm
sure maybe one chance that we missed or
what they'll all come up you know we're
we're footballers at the end of the day
it's always going to be the case but
i'm so proud of these lads and we've
been we've been excellent and but we're
also playing against an outstanding team
you know
they give you nothing and that's what
man city have done and we need to be
ready again next season to compete in in
