Gini Wijnaldum said Liverpool gave “everything they could” to win the Premier League title.
The midfielder, however, realises it was ultimately out of the Reds control.
The Dutch international believes the season Jurgen Klopp's side have had means they “deserve” some silverware and the Champions League final upcoming on June 1 is the perfect opportunity to achieve that.
Wijnaldum said the European Cup final against Tottenham in Madrid was a “game they can control” and one the team “have to bring to a good end”.
“We put everything in, everything we could,” the midfielder told liverpoolfc.com
“If you look at the games where we still managed to win - Everton at home, Fulham away, Newcastle away and I probably forget five or six more difficult games that we still managed to win. We give it our all but in the end it wasn't enough.

“The last couple of games were basically games where we could only win and look at what City were doing. They won also, so fair enough that they are champions.
“But now we have a game that we can control, so we have to bring that to a good end.
“It would be really special, especially because this season deserves an end like that. We’re going to do everything to bring it to that end, but it’s going to be tough.”
