"I’ve been asked that before and I don’t know, this was the aim obviously," James Milner told the official Liverpool website when asked if he imagined his time at the club to be that successful when he joined in 2015.
"The aim was to win a league title, the aim was to add another European Cup to the trophy cabinet. It was the plan – plans don’t normally come off like this. It is mission accomplished if you like in the time.
"This team is a special team with a special manager, amazing group of staff, unbelievable stadium, great training ground and some fantastic young players as well.
"It’s the end of my story here but the end of this era for Liverpool I’m sure isn’t ended and there’s going to be lots of trophies to come for this special group of players."
Milner saw Jurgen Klopp arrive at the club just a few months later and became one of the key players of the era for the Reds.
In eight seasons at the club, Milner made 331 appearances and lifted every major trophy possible, including Liverpool's first league win in 30 years.
