"I'm just a normal lad from Liverpool whose dreams came true!" Trent Alexander-Arnold interview

That was worth it. I think it was worth the run. Mo, all the tears of last season, all the disappointment of last season's final, all wiped away tonight. Honestly, I don't know what to say, but everyone is happy now. You win the final. I'm very glad to play the second final in a row and play 19 minutes finally. So everyone did his best to win the game. And I think it's not an individual performance for anyone, but all the team were unbelievable today. Congratulations to all of us and all the fans around the world. And of course it was a VAR decision, a VAR check. This week you were telling me you didn't like VAR. You like it now. What I said is, it's for me, for us, and against us. But now basically I said we're going to see the VAR next season, but I like it anyway now. So, yeah, it's great to win the game. And a wonderful moment for you. When you think back, you used to travel nine hours to go and play football, to four and a half hours each day, and this is the reward you're getting. Yeah, I think so. I sacrificed a lot in my career, especially to go from my village to Cairo to play football and come back. To be an Egyptian in that level for many years is something unbelievable. So I'm very happy and very glad for that. I'll go join the celebrations. Trent, come on in. Congratulations. Thank you. You're a European champion. You're not even 21 years old yet. It's hard to even put into words what's just happened and the celebrations that are going to happen tonight. I think the season we've had, we've deserved it more than any other team. And I think the run that we've had, we've beat everyone in our path. And we've done something special again tonight. And obviously, too, an early goal and a late goal has finished them off. And we've probably been dominated through the main part of the game, but we showed what a world-class side we can win anyway. It was kind of a sluggish game in parts. Why was that? Is it the conditions? Was it just the fact you had a three-week break? I don't know. I don't think any of us had even bothered about that, I think. When we look back on tonight, we're not going to think it was a sluggish game. We're going to think we've just won the European Cup and we've just done it for all these fans. And what does it mean to join those legends, those Liverpool legends? I don't know. It's hard to think of myself as a legend, I think. Obviously, for me, I'm just a normal lad from Liverpool whose dreams just come true. Absolutely right. Have and enjoy yourself. Thank you.
