John Henry has confirmed he will be at Liverpool's Champions League final against Real Madrid – as he hailed the part played by the fans in pushing the Reds to Kiev.

Henry, Liverpool's principal owner as the head of Fenway Sports Group, has also praised the work of Jurgen Klopp and his staff in guiding the team to the May 26 showpiece.

Henry was speaking in London at the announcement West Ham United's London Stadium will host two regular season games between Boston Red Sox, the Major League Baseball side owned by FSG, and New York Yankees next year.

And he said: “I am very, very excited to go to the Champions League final. This is for our fans around the world, this is what this club is all about – trying to win European championships.

“It's for Jurgen and everyone associated with the club.

"Our fans really pushed us past Manchester City, they pushed us past Roma so that when we were playing the away legs, we were already in such a great position.

“Jurgen has done a tremendous job, as has everybody associated with the club.”

Henry was also in attendance at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to watch Liverpool lost 1-0 to Chelsea.

Klopp's side must beat Brighton and Hove Albion at home on Sunday to guarantee a top-four Premier League berth.
