Kostas Tsimikas does not hide that he longs to become the first Greek footballer to win a European title at a collective level. The international left back of Liverpool counts the hours for the final of the UEFA Champions League against Real Madrid.

"It's definitely something huge for me. I still cannot realize what has happened. Since we got here I want very much to celebrate this trophy. For me it is a dream come true, as it's for my family. "The Champions League is the biggest event and I hope we celebrate the title with the Liverpool fans," he told COSMOTE TV.

"Every footballer has to go up some steps before he can reach the top. I have not arrived, I constantly want to evolve as a person and a footballer. It was difficult for me, but what I want to advise children who are just starting out is to believe and work hard. This is what I did, I believed in myself, I worked hard from Olympiakos and all this brought me here. "I have tried very hard, I have worked very hard and that is my motivation", he added.
