APPLAUSE AND CAR HORNS HONK
That was easy, wunnit?
It's an unchanged team from last week, that won't surprise you either,
Jürgen Klopp telling his players after he wrapped them in cotton wool post-Burnley
to go and do the same job again.
The big advantage will be that Diogo Jota is back on the bench
and also a place on there for the skipper, Jordan Henderson.

Well, Jürgen, your mentality monsters have done it again.
That was the year, pretty much, worrying constantly about something,
and here we are, finished, third - I have no words for that, that's absolutely incredible.
I would have never bet a penny on that, but here we are.
We said goodbye to Gini, it was so emotional.
And to Graham. Honestly, it's really difficult to speak about Graham without getting wet eyes,
because I will miss him so much.
Because the hug he always gave me before the game was like the hug from my dad.
Unbelievable. And that's why I'll miss him. And Gini...
What can I say? He came here as a top-class player, leaves here as a world-class player
and a Liverpool legend, and that's forever.
We will be friends forever, we will be family forever if he wants that.
That's no problem.
I love football, I love this club a lot.
People ask me, "How is it to play at Anfield for the supporters of Liverpool?",
always it’s difficult for me to describe how it is,
because I cannot find the right words for it.
I just say, "That’s something you have to feel."
Going to Melwood and now Kirkby, that’s something you have to feel,
something you have to see as a player.
For me, that’s the most important thing I will have in my heart.
And of course the extra things - the Champions League;
the title was unbelievable, especially because the club had to wait for 30 years.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t celebrate it with the fans.
But they were all the extras for me.
We're gonna miss your performances, we're gonna miss that smile,
we wish you all the best, Gini, and thank you for everything.
Yeah, you're welcome.
