The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder started last night's game as Bayern Munich ran out 1-0 winners to claim their sixth Champions League crown.
It was yet another big final that had to be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Herrera spoke to Viaplay Football after the game and when asked about football with no fans, he replied: "It's s***, horrible.
:speaking_head: .@AnderHerrera: - If you miss clear chances, and you play against another top side - they will probably kill you. As they did.

"For me, fans are the key in this sport, they're the most important thing in football.
"Football without fans is nothing. I hope all the people realise football is for fans. The business had to continue because it's a big business.
"For people suffering it's been a good escape for them to watch football."
The former Manchester United man urged fans to follow social distancing rules and stay safe during the pandemic.
Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the game on Sunday night but Thomas Tuchel's side did have their chances.
Advantage Bayern! :red_circle:

Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Marquinhos were denied by an inspired Manuel Neuer and Herrera conceded they should have taken their chances.
"The conclusion that I have right now is that if you miss clear chances and you play against another top side, they will probably kill you," the Spaniard claimed. "As they did.
"I think we did everything to win the game, we created two or three big chances in the first half and we didn't score. Even after they scored we created two or three chances."
Not to be for Neymar and Thomas Tuchel... :cry: pic.twitter.com/sRqOtt0RP2

"They knew how to win, and we also knew how to lose the game.
"When you lose, you are f**ked for a couple of days, but when you lose the way we lost, you can take a lot of things to make you stronger."
