Wijanldum didn't drink after winning Champions League with Netherlands fixtures in mind

As Dutch teammate Virgil van Dijk strolled out to a post-match press conference with a beer in his hand, his compatriot Georginio Wijnaldum decided to celebrate in a different way.

"Alcohol is for my holidays, not for now. The Nations League is a great prize that we want to win. I want to play", the Dutch midfielder said in a press conference.

"I have slept enough. I can play, if the coach wants me to", assured Wijnaldum, whose Dutch side face England in the semi-finals on Thursday.

Wijnaldum will hope to add to his trophy collection with the Netherlands this week, and although he may not have drank, he did manage to drop his phone during Liverpool's open-top bus tour celebration.
