Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has admitted Liverpool fully deserve Champions League glory and would be a feared team next season.
Speaking on BT Sport after the Reds’ 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the final, Ferdinand said their success will be “talked about for years to come”.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi earned the Reds a sixth European crown, their first trophy under Jurgen Klopp.
“This team is going to be a feared team in Europe. Nobody wants to pull this team out the hat or play at Anfield.
“Now there’s a fear, they’ve produced big results. This performance won’t be talked about for years to come – we didn’t play well against Chelsea in 2008 but I couldn’t care less.
“These boys deserve it. I think they will get stronger from this,” Ferdinand said.
