The Reds drew a large crowd for a celebration that refused to be halted by Saturday night’s defeat in Paris.
Andy Robertson admitted he was “dreading” Liverpool’s bus parade celebration on Sunday, but Divock Origi, who is leaving the club, joined him in applauding fans after a large attendance just hours after their UEFA Champions League Final loss against Real Madrid.
On Saturday, Jurgen Klopp’s team lost to Los Blancos in Paris, in a night marked as much by major off-field issues as by on-field activity at Stade de France.
That sour note marked the end of a season in which Liverpool finished second in the Premier League and third in Europe in their final two games – but with FA Cup and EFL Cup victories to celebrate, Scotland’s Robertson praised the team’s supporters.
He said: “To be honest, I woke up this morning in a terrible mood,” Robertson told the club’s website. “I was dreading the parade a bit, but when you get on this bus, you realise the best fans in the world come out. It’s lifted our spirits. We will give everything again next season.
“In the back of our minds we were wondering how many people would turn up today, but they are the best fans in the world. To represent them is the biggest honour. Our fans this season, 63 games, home and away. We can’t appreciate them more.”
