Jordan Henderson: “Liverpool never do it the easy way”

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has praised the effort of the team after their Champions League semi-final victory over Roma.

Roma won the second leg 4-2, but a 5-2 first-leg victory was enough to send Liverpool through.

“We never do it the easy way unfortunately. It was an amazing effort. In the first half we did well and scored some good goals. Overall we handled the situation well apart from the last 10 minutes. We need to stop that but I’m delighted we’re in the final,” Henderson told BT Sport.

“We knew it was important to score and get one early on. We were unlucky with their first goal but overall we have to be happy with what we have done over the two legs. We could have done better in this game but we’ve made it through to the final.

“We have another important game on the weekend against Chelsea and then we have Real Madrid in the final. We will go there with confidence.”

Liverpool will play Real Madrid in the final on Saturday, May 26.
