Incredible Jordan Henderson moment fans may have missed after Liverpool captain lifted Champions League trophy

Jordan Henderson became the latest Liverpool captain to lift the Champions League trophy after his side triumphed in Madrid tonight.

The Reds ran out 2-0 winners against Tottenham with goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi.

At the final whistle the former Sunderland man couldn't wait to get his hands on the most coveted trophy in club football.

Henderson passed the silverware to his manager Klopp and joined in the celebrations with his teammates as the crowd sang You'll Never Walk Alone.

But as BT Sport cut away to a commercial break, their cameras just about caught a touching moment involving the man who wears the armband.

The midfielder made his way towards the crowd, where his father, Brian Henderson was waiting for him.

As the proud dad embraced his son, Jordan couldn't manage to hold in the emotions he managed to during his post-match interview.

What followed was a tender moment between father and son as Jordan cried tears of joy in his father's arms.

Henderson follows in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard, Phil Thompson, Emlyn Hughes and Graeme Souness in lifting the trophy above his head after the victory.
