It's a shame it's come to this. Liverpool stalwart Georginio Wijnaldum has broken his silence on his departure from the club this summer - and he hasn't held back.
The Dutchman, who made the switch from Merseyside to Paris last month after his Reds contract expired, has spoken out on his summer exit.
Wijnaldum played a pivotal role in the club's Champions League and Premier League success. No Reds fan will ever forget his sensational double off the bench in the remarkable comeback against Barcelona at Anfield en route to European glory.

In five top-flight seasons the midfielder missed just 11 matches - a staggering feat considering the rigours of modern day football - and rarely did he put in a bad display.

'There was a moment I didn't feel loved and appreciated,' the 30-year-old said as he shed light on his exit at the weekend. 'Not [by] my team-mates, not the people at Melwood. From them I know, I can say they all love me and I love them. It was not from that side, more the other side.'
It's not clear who the Holland international was referring to when he said 'the other side' but it could be seen as aimed at those in power at Anfield.
To lose him to French giants Paris Saint-Germain - who Liverpool could play in Europe - for nothing was painful. The fact that one of Liverpool's most consistent performers in recent times didn't feel valued hurts.
