Van Dijk: “Hopefully we can do this every year”

Virgil van Dijk believes what Liverpool have achieved this season is “just the start” of ongoing success for the Reds.

The centre-back helped his side overcome Barcelona on Tuesday night to reach the Champions League final, with the Premier League title also still within reach, depending on how results go this weekend.

But whether or not this season ends with a trophy, the Dutchman is confident there’s plenty more in story for Jurgen Klopp’s team.

“We have a great age group, between 20 and 27, 28, so hopefully we can do it all together for the next couple of years at least and grow as a team and get a lot of successes,” Van Dijk said.

“It’s just the start and hopefully we can do this every year.

“Hopefully we are going to keep challenging for the title. Man City are one of the best teams in the world and they’ve shown the whole season how difficult they can make it for any team in the world. But we’re still in this season and still anything is possible.

“They have it [the Premier League title] in their hands. We’ll see. If it doesn’t happen then it’s not the end of the world. We’ve had a fantastic season, both of us.

“To compete with City says a lot about how we’re progressing from last year. It’s just the start. It’s not like next year we’re not going to try to do it again. It’s something we have to build on.

“There’s still a game to play for them and us on Sunday and we’ll see. The only thing we can do is try to win both: the Wolves game and the final. We have been outstanding this season and if something happens everyone can be very proud and happy.”
