Fabinho: 'After Livrpool final I didn’t want to do the bus parade'

Fabinho has revealed that after losing the Champions League final, he was in no mood to do the trophy parade Liverpool had planned. His view changed when he saw the support from the fans.

“After the final, I didn’t want to do the bus parade (around the streets of Liverpool),” said Fabinho.

“I was hurt from losing. The feeling was that we had just missed out on something big. But when we came back to Liverpool and started on the parade the mood changed so much. I came to realise that it was the best thing that could have happened to us. It helped us all appreciate that despite the disappointment we had still made a lot of people happy with the season we had played.

“I wasn’t surprised by how many turned up because Liverpool fans are just crazy. But the support they showed us that day really was unbelievable. It showed what the club means to them.

“Even though we had lost in Paris, they were happy. We shared that moment with them. It’s not every season you win two titles. The more I reflected, the more I appreciated what a good season it had still been. We came so close in the Premier League and the Champions League.”
