00:00If you can smell a strange smell, that's me, drenched in whatever it is, so apologies for
00:25that.
00:26How do you feel?
00:31Feel amazing.
00:32I think it's an incredible day, really.
00:36So, so pleased with our performance.
00:37I thought we were magnificent today, Keith.
00:39I think it was a lucky win from our perspective, fully deserved, and I thought the players
00:43were magnificent.
00:44You just walked into the room there and said there was a funny smell, how did you get that
00:50sort of feeling?
00:51Yeah, drenched in alcohol I think by Joe Linton and the rest of the squad, but a great moment
00:55and that's what it's all about.
00:57It's about embracing the success.
00:59You have so many difficult days in football and this club has had its fair share over
01:04the years.
01:05So, just trying to enjoy the moment and take it all in.
01:07How do you feel it's the worst day of your career?
01:10Well, it's amazing what football can do and I think it's one of the rare sports that has
01:14that ability to give people days that they'll always remember and with such a long wait
01:21for a trophy, this will be a day that I'm sure everyone will never forget.
01:25We will never forget it.
01:26I certainly won't.
01:27I think there's different ways to win trophies.
01:30Today we won it in the best way.
01:31We played a brilliant opponent who have been the best team in the Premier League all season
01:34by a long way and for me we were the better team.
01:38What a week, what a few days for him.
01:43But I thought his performance today, I thought he was a colossal for us in the back.
01:47I thought him and Fabi played really well today.
01:50Aerially they were excellent.
01:51Both teams were actually quite direct today and we knew Liverpool had a direct threat.
01:57And then you talk about his goal, I mean, we've been working on those corners tirelessly
02:00for two weeks.
02:02We've had mixed success, I can be honest, in training and he's delivered one from a long
02:07range as well.
02:08I thought it was an incredible header and it's so fitting that it's him that scored
02:11that goal.
02:12A long wait for even a goal at Wembley, a brilliant moment.
02:18But I just think it proves we can do it.
02:20I've never had any doubts about our ability to lift our game.
02:24But you don't get many shots at this, you don't get many shots at a cup final.
02:30And today we had to try and take our opportunity and that's where the players delivered under
02:34pressure so well and so impressively.
02:36It also proved that we can mix our game against the very, very best.
02:40Now the challenge for us is to try and get there more often, as in lifting our game like
02:44we did today.
02:50Disappointing result, disappointing performance.
03:02So completely different than I felt after the Paris Saint-Germain game.
03:09Losing twice in a row is something I think we do for the first time, but that probably
03:13also comes with going into the latter stages of a tournament.
03:17So facing Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle in the final are two very good teams, both
03:21in their own styles, but very difficult teams to face because we already knew from the game
03:28against St. James' Park how difficult it is to beat them.
03:34It was a tough week, but it was also a week where we extended our lead to 12 points from
03:41it being 10.
03:42So it wasn't all negative, but the last two were definitely not the way we wanted it to be.
03:51If you look at the result and the performance, you might feel that it maybe did something
03:57to us, but I prefer to look at how the game went and this game went exactly the way they
04:02wanted it to be.
04:04A fight with a lot of duels and a lot of duels through the air.
04:12If we play ten times a game of football through the air against them, they win it probably
04:16nine times because they are a stronger team through the air than us, which led to the
04:20first goal and the second goal because the second goal was also a header that they won
04:25at the second post that fell for Isak and led to the 2-0.
