00:00I started playing when I was six.

00:09When you start, you just want to become this professional footballer

00:13and to play for your national team,

00:15to have the opportunity to play on the biggest stages with the biggest crowds.

00:22To feel those emotions, to feel how happy you are,

00:25constantly searching for these feelings.

00:28I remember my first football memory is the Euro 2004 that happened in Portugal.

00:33Everybody was so excited for the tournament.

00:36I just watched the first time Cristiano Ronaldo starting in the national team.

00:40I always followed his career and scoring goals has always been my motivation.

00:46When I was a kid, I wanted to play in the Premier League.

00:49I didn't even imagine to win it, I just wanted to be there.

00:53I knew that it was the best league in the world.

00:55I fulfilled my dream when I played for Wolverhampton.

00:58But then, when you achieve a dream, you unlock another phase, another level, another step.

01:04And when I came to Liverpool, I knew that it was possible.

01:08Really exciting moment for me, for my family.

01:11My job is to find a way to score goals, to provide assists.

01:15That's what they can expect from me, because now I'm one of them.

01:20Diogo Jota, on his debut!

01:22From the moment I arrived, I always played a big part in the teams throughout the year with Klopp and with Arnie.

01:29That's nice.

01:31Diogo Jota, who's got himself a yard of space.

01:34Maybe another yard of space.

01:35Oh, he squeezed it in!

01:36And it's a fine individual effort!

01:39As a fan, I was a fan myself.

01:42I want to see a player fighting for the club, for the badge that they both love.

01:47And now a back pass!

01:48Chots is away on the left!

01:49Chots out!

01:50Anfield, it runs!

01:52What a finish!

01:56It's an unbelievable song that makes me proud.

02:03I think they know that, with me, they will have the minimum required to represent Liverpool.

02:10That's the feeling I look for when I play football.

02:23That's why you put all your lives and all your efforts to moments like that.

02:27Moments where you can decide the game.

02:29It's what makes you keep going.

02:31To arrive at this season with the title that I've been chasing for a lot of years,

02:39in the best league in the world, where I dreamt to play as a kid,

02:43and finally we did it.

02:46It's a moment that I will cherish forever.

02:57I always remember this city, this club.

02:59My three kids were born here.

03:01It changed my life completely.

03:03The way everybody supports me from the very first day.

03:06I'm really grateful to all of the people in the club and to all of the fans for making this happen.

03:11It is a remarkable achievement for a small guy that came from Gondomar,

03:17where I had this dream, and to ride this at the moment, it was outstanding.

03:21It was outstanding.

03:22It was outstanding.

03:23It was outstanding.

03:27It's great!

03:29It is.

03:30It's hard.

03:31You're still here.

03:33Zivers, Dafür,iptar.

03:35Will you miss Christmas?

03:36Or you are still here in your corner.

03:38You love you.

03:39It is great.
