Robertson: Holding Premier League trophy ‘best feeling ever’

Glasgow-born Liverpool star says he never thought 'winning this was possible' as celebrations get under way at Anfield.

Robertson: Holding Premier League trophy ‘best feeling ever’

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has described lifting the English Premier League trophy as the “best feeling ever”.

Robertson and his teammates were presented with the trophy after last night’s 5-3 victory over Chelsea at an empty Anfield.

He becomes just the fifth Scot to win the title in the Premier League era, which began in season 1992-93.

Robertson posted on Twitter: “Just a kid from Glasgow who had a dream of playing football. Never did I think this was possible. The best feeling ever and hopefully one of many more to come.”

Robertson also lifted the Champions League trophy last year after Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the final in Madrid.

The Scotland captain now wants to lead the nation to next year’s postponed European Championship.

He told STV News last month: “I’ve played under fantastic Scotland captains Darren Fletcher and Scott Brown and I know how much it hurt both of them not to play at a major tournament.

“I don’t want to be in a similar position to them if my career comes to an end and I’ve still not managed it.

“We’ve got a chance this year to put it right. We’ve got a play-off where if we play to our best I believe we can give it a hell of go and qualify for the Euros.”

Meanwhile, fellow Scotland defender Liam Cooper also appeared to have a good night after Leeds United were awarded the English Championship trophy.

Leeds have been promoted and will play in the Premier League next season after a 16-year absence from the top flight.
