JORDAN HENDERSON failed to contain his emotion as he was reduced to tears after he was confirmed as a Premier League champion.
The Reds skipper joined club legend Kenny Dalglish and boss Jurgen Klopp in breaking down on live TV following Chelsea’s win over Manchester City.
The Liverpool legends were emotional after they finally secured the silverware
Liverpool have won their first top-flight title since 1990, and have wrapped up the league with an incredible seven games to spare having won 28 out of their 31 matches.
German gaffer Klopp dedicated the triumph to King Kenny in an interview with Sky Sports as the duo revelled in the club’s success after the full-time whistle at Stamford Bridge.
And Henderson was equally as moved by the achievement as his manager, as he too broke down when speaking to the broadcaster.
Appearing in a Liverpool shirt, he told Sky: “I didn’t want to talk about it until this moment so it’s amazing to finally get over the line.
“I’m so happy for all the boys, the fans, the whole club, the city. I’m a little bit overwhelmed right now, it’s an amazing feeling and I’m just so proud of what we’ve achieved.”
Before adding: “To be honest, I’m lost for words at the minute. It hasn’t really sunk in.
“You never really think of this end moment, you’re just always concentrating on each game and then when this moment comes, I can’t really describe it.
“I said after the Champions League final that it wouldn’t be possible to do it without the manager and it’s the same with this title.
“Everything from when he came in, and that’s no disrespect to the managers before him or who I’ve worked with before, because we have come close but I felt from day one, he came in the door and he just changed everything.
“Everybody followed him and we all did what he said, followed him and believed him and so far, it’s been pretty special.
“It’s been an amazing journey and I hope we can just continue in this, stay hungry, keep wanting more and just keep following him.”
Fans were quick to praise the ex-Sunderland midfielder on social media, as one tweeted: “This man is total class and he’s dealt with the doubters and critics and has proven them all very very wrong… great job captain.”
Another said: “His tears make me wanna cry with him! YNWA.”
A third added: “Taken a lot of stick over the years , what a leader.”
One simply commented: “MY CAPTAIN.”
