Jurgen Klopp’s side are also top of the Premier League after the best start to the season in their history and Van Dijk admits it is a great time to be at the club and genuinely challenging on two fronts.“It’s something that we all want, it’s something that we are going to give everything for,” he said.“We want to play on the highest level and the Champions League, other than the Premier League for us, is the highest level.“We want to reach the maximum and hopefully do better than we did last year in the Champions League. You need to have dreams, you need to go for it, otherwise why would you be a footballer?Mo Salah sent Liverpool through to the knockout stages3

“It’s a great time to be a Liverpool fan or player. It’s tough but enjoy it and embrace it – these are the days you want to experience as a footballer and we are.”Despite creating a number of chances, with Sadio Mane’s radar well off target, it still required that added-time block from Alisson to prevent their exit from the Champions League.Defensively Liverpool are as good as they have been for many years, having conceded just six goals in their opening 16 Premier League matches, and it was that resilience which ultimately won them the match.Alisson kept Liverpool in the competition with a huge save3

Van Dijk revealed much of that is built on the team ethic which means being confident enough to challenge each other in order to maintain their high standards.“Alisson is also part of the defence and I think we all deserve the credit that we get from you guys, from the media and stuff,” said the Holland captain.“It starts up front. Obviously we have triggers to press and then make it difficult for them. If they come to our end then we need to be ready and we were.“You need to be hard with each other. When things aren’t going right you need to tell each other, otherwise it’s going to be too easy. I think that’s a sign of a good team,” said the Holland captain. “When people are shouting at me I take it because they want to make me better and their mistake they take it as well if I shout to them.“That’s how it is, we’re all grown-ups, we take it and after the game if you’re not happy with it then you discuss it. It is what it is. We had big chances and you’re going to be frustrated when you miss those chances, including myself.“We could have made it a lot easier, we could have scored another two or three, we didn’t, and then it was (important) for us to win our battles and keep it tight and we did.”
