Gerrard is Europe's most valuable player

As a Liverpool fan I already know this but it was nice to see Gerrard receiving his award for being the best player in Europe last season. Gerrard has the following to say about his award:
"It's a great honour to receive this award and I feel really proud. "I need to thank the club, the coaching staff and my team-mates for helping me to win this award. "It was a real team effort last season. This award is for an individual but you can never win personal honours without your team-mates and everyone in our squad played their part last season. I'm a team player and the idea is to be a team and try to win more things together. That's what we'll be looking to do in the future." He added: "We'll never forget what we achieved last year and there were so many highlights along the way. On a personal level lifting the cup was the biggest but I also enjoyed all the wins we achieved throughout the competition, especially against Juventus, Chelsea and of course AC Milan in the final."
