❤️‍🩹 Arne Slot’s open letter to Liverpool Echo touching also on Diogo Jota.

“That only weeks after celebrating together we would lose Diogo is indescribable. More than anything, I want to remember a team-mate, a friend and an incredible human being who touched the lives of thousands of you every time he wore this club’s famous crest.

"In one of the most difficult moments this club has faced, the love, compassion and support shown by the Liverpool family was extraordinary. As I leave this club, it would be remiss of me not to say that the way you honoured Diogo and stood together in his memory will stay with me forever...

"You made me feel welcome from the start and helped me on the path. That is something I cherish.

"Liverpool’s 20th league title belongs to all of us and it will remain an important chapter in its history. For that we should all be proud...

"This club will always judge itself by the biggest honours. That is how it should be. But I also leave knowing the club is exactly where it belongs: amongst Europe’s elite. Securing Champions League football was an important responsibility and one that ensures Liverpool can continue competing at the highest level next season and beyond.

"I leave with complete confidence in what lies ahead."

🚨💥🎙️| LUIS ENRIQUE WARNS A JOURNALIST TO RESPECT MESSI! 🔥

🎙️⚽ During a press conference, a journalist tried to plant the idea that Lionel Messi was the problem for PSG by pointing out that the French club won two consecutive Champions Leagues after his departure.

🗣️Luis Enrique fires back: “Messi is not a problem for any team; he's the best player my eyes have ever seen.”

“I've had the honor of sharing time with him, and let me tell you, he's an excellent player and an excellent person.”

“You should respect a legend like Messi more.”

🚨 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on his future after winning back-to-back Champions League titles:

🗣️ “Right now I’m enjoying the moment because winning the Champions League back-to-back is something every player dreams about.

But I also have dreams for the future.

One day, I would love to play in England.

The Premier League is one of the biggest challenges in football and every top player wants to test himself there at some point.

When you talk about English football, you have to talk about Manchester United.

It is a club built by legends.

From the history, the atmosphere, the supporters and the players who have worn that shirt, it is one of the biggest institutions in world football.

I’m not saying anything will happen tomorrow, but as a footballer you always respect clubs of that size.

If the right time ever comes and a club like Manchester United calls, of course I would listen.

For now, my focus is on winning more trophies and becoming a better player.

But in football, you never know what the future holds.”
