Georginio Wijnaldum Admits Champions League Success Reminded Him of How Big Liverpool Are

Georginio Wijnaldum has revealed that he often forgets how big Liverpool are as a club and was reminded after their Champions League win over Tottenham last month.

The Dutch midfielder played just over an hour for the Reds in their final triumph, having played a huge role from the bench in their famous 4-0 second leg demolition of Barcelona in the semi-final, where he scored twice.

Speaking to Liverpool's official website, Wijnaldum explained: ''It's a really big club. Everywhere you go people know Liverpool. On my vacation a lot of people came to me and congratulated me for the Champions League.
