Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano says he was happy to see his former club West Ham avoid relegation at the weekend.
The Argentinian moved to Upton Park in a controversial deal with Carlos Tevez, but failed to shine in the little playing time he was given.
He has since cut an impressive figure in a Liverpool shirt and is getting ready to turn out against Milan in the Champions League final next week.
He said: "No matter what happened there (at West Ham), I’m pleased, content and happy they survived, because if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have had the chance to play in a Champions League final.
"They helped me. By bringing me to England they gave me this opportunity and, of course, Carlos Tevez is my great friend so I am happy for him.
"I don’t know about the politics and I don’t want to talk about the rights and wrongs of whether they should be docked points but I do know we didn’t do anything wrong. We just went to play and, though I didn’t play much, they still gave me my chance.
"They all helped — staff, players, fans, everyone. For that I am grateful. They are a great club — too good to be out of the top flight — so I am happy."
