Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool defender

This has already been a season like no other for Liverpool, and it's only right they have a chance to end it in style.

Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid has been the focus since the dying moments of the Premier League campaign last weekend, when everyone at Anfield realised the title - and their hopes of an unprecedented quadruple - were gone.

However things had turned out, though, the important thing was that there was always one more game to go.

Lots of things have come together to get them to this point, but back in August there were plenty of reasons people doubted whether Liverpool would win anything at all this season, let alone having a chance of ending it with three trophies.

Here are those quotes by Sadio Mane that featured on so many of this morning's back pages.

Sane has promised to give a "special" answer over his Liverpool future after Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid.

"I think the answer I can give you now is I feel very good.

"I am fully focused on Saturday's game, that is the answer I must give before the final. But come back to me on Saturday and I will give you the best answer you want to hear, for sure. It's special. I will give you all you want to hear then.

"I love what I am doing and I sacrifice myself all the time. I am working hard every single day on the pitch and in the gym and I get better and better, that's the most important. I am trying my best to help the team."

How cryptic.

BBC World Service

And finally from former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure speaking to World Service Sport. He has urged Mohamed Salah to sign for Liverpool 'for life' despite speculation he could leave the club next year.

"Just stay where you’ve been loved you've been respected, because being with clubs where you are able to stay with the coach or managers for years and years, empowers us all. That means they know you better, they know how they can improve you and make you a top person.

"He’s loved in Liverpool, and I think he should stay. For me, he should sign for life, because of what this club means to him."

BBC World Service

Here's more from Yaya Toure, who revealed he urged Roberto Mancini to sign Sadio Mane when he was in charge of Manchester City.

"I remember when I was at Man City, I had a chat with Roberto Mancini, I think one year before he was sacked. And I asked him ‘Can you have a look in Sadio Mane?’. At that time he was at Southampton, playing there with [Mauricio] Pochettino.

"He was unbelievable player and I knew he was going to be a great player, 100%, because the way he moves, the way he plays, he's so humble. I’ve never seen a striker like it. He’s not selfish, he is not thinking about him, he works for the team."

Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, a Champions League winner with Barcelona in 2009, has been speaking to BBC World Service Sport about Liverpool's Sadio Mane.

"For these 4-5 years and he's been unbelievable. Without disrespect for Mohamed Salah who was doing brilliantly as well, Raheem Sterling, [Lionel] Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, but I think the Ballon d'Or last year for me was a shambles, to be honest.

"How can you tell me this lad is not be in the top three of the Ballon d'Or. How is it possible? Because in terms of winning trophies he is up there."

And because we are feeling especially generous, here is the whole interview with Jurgen Klopp from BBC Breakfast.

BBC Breakfast

Jurgen Klopp on the joy Liverpool and football can bring to those who have endured a difficult few years.

"It is the most important thing to do. If you lose you suffer together so you are not alone in this moment. If you win you celebrate together so you are not alone in this moment.

"Being lonely with your problems is the most difficult thing in life. A shared problem is half a problem and that's what we try to do.

"Of course it is really tough at the moment out there for plenty of reasons and I'm really happy we can give our people this kind of joy where they can really forget and maybe get a boost for the next day, and get the energy again for the next week. That's how it should be."

BBC Breakfast

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp speaking to BBC Breakfast's Sally Nugent: "This group of players is very special. The best I’ve ever had. We grew together, they are fantastic people.

"They are young but in the future it will be a joy to see what they are doing because they are so smart.

"It’s an open group. Some will join us, some will leave us. But the core will stay.

"And together with the people of Liverpool, we are quite confident.

"I know it’s a cliché but it feels like a family."

So does that make you the dad?

"Unfortunately for me I am probably the grandad, because there are a lot of moments when I am the oldest one in the room."

Jurgen Klopp will be holding his news conference later this afternoon but if you can't wait that long you are in for a treat.

BBC Breakfast's Sally Nugent managed to catch up with the Reds boss before he set off for Paris.

Here are some of the best bits...
