“I want the world to know that Palestine has writers, artists, thinkers and, most importantly, lovers. I want the world to know that we are humans just like you.” So writes Anas Jnena in one of the many poignant stories featured in this important and timely collection. The voices of Gaza’s youth have been palpably missing in the ongoing war.

You obviously did talk with Liverpool about the potential of a new contract here. Was staying at Liverpool ever a possibility given the success of this season and the good relationship you’ve got with Arne Slot?One hundred per cent, a massive possibility. I’ve got full confidence in the manager and the staff and the club going forward. It’s not about me thinking we’re not going to fight for titles or fight for trophies season in, season out because I knew from the first few moments with the manager that he was a winner, he was aiming to go and win…

On whether already being champions and rotating his team affected the performance…That, we will never know, but I think what we also saw today were a lot of things that we’ve seen throughout the whole season.
