Speaking to BBC Sport after the final whistle, the Liverpool left-back revealed just how emotional the day had been for him.
He admitted that he had struggled to contain his feelings before the match, saying he had spent the day thinking about Jota and the conversations they once shared about “one day playing at a World Cup together.”
