Van Dijk hails Liverpool’s success in securing league title

Virgil Van Dijk has lauded Liverpool’s resilience and team strength in securing their second Premier League title since 1990, labeling the club ‘the most beautiful’ in the world.

On Sunday, April 27, Liverpool were crowned champions with four matches to spare after their 5-1 annihilation of Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

Celebrations and cheers rolled all over Merseyside after the Reds’ impeccable run this season under new manager Arne Slot. Slot is the first manager to win the title in his first year at Liverpool and it appears he’s played a huge role in the new direction of the team.

Van Dijk, who became the first Dutch player to win the Premier League as captain in history revealed what it meant to win the title again, having high remarks for what Liverpool have achieved this season.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the win over Spurs, Van Dijk said : “This is the most beautiful club in the world.”

“We deserve this. We are going to enjoy the next couple of weeks and take it in. I was desperate to win it for them [the fans] and all the fans around the world, and for us as well. We have won two Premier League trophies in five years”, he said.

Liverpool are under a new direction under Slot, but will need to be even better in the next campaign if they want to defend their title next year.
