I\u2019d been waiting for a moment like that.\u00a0It was a massive opportunity for me to be Liverpool\u2019s No 1 for that long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was my time to show the level I believe I can perform at and the level people at the club think I\u2019m able to play at. I proved that I\u2019m good enough to play in the\u00a0Premier League\u00a0\u2013 I\u2019m comfortable there. I\u2019ve always had that belief in myself. Proving it to people was satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlaying against Man City at home was another big one for me with the rivalry between us. You\u2019re not going to play in a more high-profile game than that in world football and I thought I did really well.
