Quote from Skysports.com
"I will be the one lifting that trophy, not Paolo Maldini," insisted Gerrard.
"Imagine me hoisting the trophy. It is an image I have in my mind and I want to make it a reality.
"We have world-class players and, believe me, they are in the mood to do it.
"The atmosphere around the club at the moment is just top-class.
"It will be the proudest moment of my life leading Liverpool out. I've dreamed of this day since I was a kid, kicking a ball against the wall in the street where I lived.
"What could be better than leading Liverpool out for the Champions League final? Only lifting the trophy.
"We need everyone, all 11 players who start and the subs, to be ready to give everything.
"We need that mentality, when everyone has to put everything on the line for Liverpool.
"That is what it will take to win. We have to make sure we don't have any regrets at the final whistle.
"I have been dreaming of lifting the trophy, don't worry about that. I haven't stopped thinking about it and it has been in my head 24/7.
"It's the biggest game of my life, and I have to concentrate on myself and make sure my team mates are right because that is what I do as a captain.
"Liverpool are a massive club and have been very successful over the years and it is my responsibility as captain to make sure that past success continues.
"This club is about winning and we have the chance now to bring the biggest trophy possible back to this club. There is a lot of pressure and a lot of responsibility on us but we are enjoying it."
Doesn't look like he is going anywhere!!!!
