Against Juventus we were massive underdogs, so to beat them was fantastic.
But I it doesn't matter who scores the goals so long as we win.
But I think the Champions League Final puts a massive pressure on every player and the manager, but we're enjoying the pressure and hopefully we can go there and win it.
Earlier on in the season I'd have been very surprised to think we could win this competition because there were some fantastic teams in it.
Even now I can say I'd love to finish my career here, and then stay in the game after that.
Football is all about winning things as a team but it's also important pick up individual awards along the way.
Hopefully it'll give us a bit of luck on the night, but I'm not really a superstitious person.
I listen to the phone-ins on the way home and I know how the fans feel.
I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we suffer a bad result.
I think every player listens out for his name being sung and it's something I really enjoy.
I think it all goes down to who plays the better football on the night.
I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.
I was recently quoted as saying that I think we need at least three new faces brought in during the summer and I stand by that.
I watched Italia '90 with my Mum and Dad and my brother, you know, leaping around the house when the penalties were on... It would be great to be part of that, to have that kind of impact.
I'll admit, it gives me a real buzz when I hear my name being chanted and that feeling is the same now as it was when I first broke into the team.
I'm a fan myself and I'm frustrated just as much as them when we get beat.
I've got absolutely no intention of ever going to play at another club.
It goes without saying that we all want to make next season a better one than this.
It will be a dream come true if I can go there and lift it.
Liverpool is a massive club and has obviously been very successful over the years.
My message to the fans would be that hopefully I can continue to perform as consistently as I have done this season and lift a trophy for them soon.
Obviously the fans are very important to me, in fact they mean everything to me and they are the people I try to please when I play.
So we deserve to be where we are and we're enjoying it, but it would be a disaster if we were to go there and lose it.
The Champions League is the competition everyone wants to be in.
The fact I've played well means that on a personal level I have enjoyed the season.
The fans have played a massive part in getting us to where we are, but the job's not finished.
The foreign players seem to be revelling in the European games and they've put in some massive performances for us.
The odds were against us, but we deserve to be where we are.
There's no doubt that the squad needs strengthening if we are to get back up among the top three because they are operating on another level to us at the moment.
This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.
To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.
We are Liverpool Football Club and the expectations are so high.
We've proved a lot of people wrong so far but the job is not finished yet and if we come home from Istanbul empty handed then it would be a disaster.
