Liverpool FC captain Jordan Henderson sets Man City challenge to teammates

Jordan Henderson wants Liverpool to follow up their success in the Champions League by winning multiple trophies next season.

Jurgen Klopp's men were crowned European champions on Saturday night after a dour final in Madrid was settled by goals from Mo Salah and Divock Origi.

Success in the competition ensured they didn't end the season empty-handed after City won every other competition that was available to the Anfield club at the beginning of the campaign.

Liverpool ran City close in the Premier League but finished one point short of Pep Guardiola's Treble winners and Henderson is eyeing success on several fronts next term.

"Football moves quickly and we will go again and keep wanting more," Henderson said. "[To] show that desire to keep wanting to improve and want more trophies. That is what we have got to do.

"Before this game I said [Manchester] City don't just win one [but] two or three trophies.

"That is what we are trying to aim for and I know in this group we want to do that. We are young enough to stay together and hopefully we can do that for a long period of time."

Meanwhile, James Milner said Liverpool showed their strength of character by bouncing back from their failure to win the league with their success in Madrid.

"The amount of work you do to get these nights. I think the hurt of last year, getting 97 points and not to get over the line but it goes back to the character and the ability of the squad," Milner said.

"To pick ourselves up and beat the teams we have done in the Champions League this year shows the quality but also the heart, desire and team spirit."
