James Milner has revealed one Liverpool teammate had the hump with him after winning the FA Cup.

During the 21/22 season, Liverpool were gunning for all four major trophies under Jurgen Klopp.

Having sealed the Carabao Cup, Liverpool were looking to add the FA Cup to their collection.

In the final against Chelsea, the match ended in a 0-0 draw after 120 minutes.

The Reds eventually came out winners after Kostas Tsimikas scored the winning penalty on the back of Mason Mount missing his.

Speaking on the Football’s Greatest with Jeff Stelling podcast, Milner spoke about Tismikas’ penalty.

He said: “I would watch the boys' reaction when we won the title, standing at the back of the room and watching the Chelsea game and watching everyone in front of me and how they were reacting.

“That was special and you wouldn't normally do that, but I was fortunate enough to have done it before so I just wanted to enjoy it. When we won the cup at Wembley I was watching the fans' reaction when Kostas scored the penalty.”

Milner continued: “Kostas had the hump with me because he thought I couldn't watch his penalty because I had no faith in him. But I wanted to watch the fans' reaction when it went in. It's the little things like that and I've been lucky enough to be able to experience them.”

Milner also revealed how manager Klopp changed during his time as Liverpool boss.

He said: “At the start there were not many days off, a lot longer and harder training at times.

“And then I think to his credit, Germany was a lot different as they have the winter break, whereas England Christmas is the busiest period and I think he learnt to trust the team. I think he had ideas about players and maybe English players as well, they like to drink a lot, don’t prepare well and I think he saw with the squad he had that it wasn’t like that and if players got a day off they would look after themselves.”

Milner added: “To his credit he changed things and softened as time went on, but never lost his edge.

“He was more definitely aggressive at the start, he lost his rag a bit more at the start, but that is setting the standards, it's probably the players he had wasn't his squad and he wanted to get his point across.”
