Steven Gerrard regrets not winning the League

Steven Gerrard who's last home game of his Premier League career comes this week, has been talking to media about his journey and success.

And has been quoted saying, his only regret has to be, not winning the Premier League title.

Here's what he said:

"I look back at it with pride," he said in a news conference. "I am really proud of what I have achieved here, all the trophies I have won and all the great memories I have had, but certainly not winning the Premier League is a dent in that.

"There is nothing I can do about it now but it is certainly a regret I will go away with. But I have to look at the big picture -- [with] 708 appearances, I have achieved an awful lot more than I thought I would.

"If someone had said to me at eight when you used to get two buses to Anfield to train [at the centre of excellence], 'You are going to play 708 games, win the trophies but have some low points,' I would have taken that."

Gerrard is aiming not to get too emotional about his final appearance for Liverpool on home soil, saying: "The aim is to stay strong and avoid a few tears."

The former England captain is in no doubt about the highlight of his Liverpool career, pinpointing the 2005 Champions League final when he scored as Rafa Benitez's team came from 3-0 down to defeat AC Milan.

"Still to this day the hairs on my neck stand up," he added. "It was the best night of my life. It was the pinnacle professionally and the best cup to win. I think it will go down in history as the best Champions League final ever."
