Cisse said: "It is great to see the people and I have never seen anything like this. This is a special club with special fans.
"I was out for six months but I've come back to help Liverpool win the Champions League. It's amazing and I can't believe my dream came true. The way it has ended it has been a great season.
"This is one of the best days of my life. Just to get on in the match was brilliant for me and to score a goal in the penalty shoot-out was extra special. I was nervous before taking the kick as I knew how important it was to the club and also to our wonderful fans."
