In an interview for the Sky Sports Premier League’s Youtube channel, Declan Rice has commented on his disappointment at missing out on the Premier League title to Liverpool this season.
“Massive credit to them. (They have) been the most consistent team throughout the season, performed to a really high standard and ability. Cannot knock them. Can't take anything away from them. You know, everyone else fell short and in the end they were probably the strongest team in it. But it's a great chance to challenge ourselves against the champions we believe on our day that we can beat anyone. We need to go to Anfield and give it absolutely everything. It’s hard to digest but also you have to hold your hands up when other teams have been better than you and also deserve to win it and Liverpool have this year so I'm not one of them that will make excuses fair play to them um they fully deserved it”
