Smicer parties with the fans

Smicer, playing his last ever game for Liverpool, scored a stunning 25 yard goal to bring the Reds back into the game at 3-2 before scoring a goal in the penalty shoot-out.

After the game Smicer went to Taksim square to celebrate with the fans.

"I celebrated with the largest cigar you have ever seen. I went with the fans to dance in the streets," he said.
 
"It was incredible to be with the fans. I just wanted to share with them what I felt. It was the greatest night of our lives.
 
"I didn't go to bed at all. There is no need for sleep after a night like this. I just wanted to go out on a high, and I am proud I showed I can play.
 
"I was told two months ago that I wouldn't be getting a new contract and I asked the manager if he'd need me, or could I go on holiday.
 
"He said that I was still needed, and that's all I wanted to hear. I love Liverpool, both of my children were born here, and it's very difficult to leave."
