It was a big moment for Virgil van Dijk as he lifted a trophy for Liverpool as captain, for the first time but he didn’t make it something about him and that’s why he’s the perfect leader.

It’s a word that sums up this team as it’s so easy to say that everyone played their part but this was an entire club effort to get over the line, something that is only possible if everyone is together.
The future may be uncertain after we lose our manager but it’s hard not to be excited about the future of this squad of amazing young players.
