Champions League is the greatest title for any player - Barcelona's Javier Mascherano

Barcelona's Javier Mascherano has underlined the significance of winning the Champions League following their 3-1 win over Manchester United at Wembley.

"We are really happy because we have beaten a fantastic team in Manchester United.

"We are delighted to have played the way we like to play so it's really good for us. We try to play with having possession all the time and trying to play most of the game in the opposite half, playing well and we did that.

"We had a lot of chances to score. We couldn't quite score all of the opportunities we created in the first half, but in the second half when we had the chances we took them.

"To win the Champions League for any footballer is the top title. Playing at centre-back has been a little bit of a strange situation for me because the last two-and-a-half months I have found myself playing there.

"It's a position that is not my natural position but I try to do my best and give my best to the team and I'm happy because we reached our target.

"I know Liverpool supporters after my exit were maybe a little bit sad with me, but I'd like to say this victory is for them as well."
