The victory felt even more special considering the challenges they faced in previous seasons and the way the fans had been kept apart due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The emotions were clear on the faces of the Liverpool players.

As the whistle blew, many of them, including Van Dijk and goalkeeper Alisson Becker, were seen holding back tears.

The scenes were filled with joy, as Van Dijk’s leadership and determination helped guide Liverpool back to the top.

While the celebrations were in full swing, the players knew they couldn’t lift the trophy just yet—they would have to wait until the final game of the season.

However, the win confirmed that Arsenal could no longer catch them.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Van Dijk shared his thoughts on the achievement.

“This is the most beautiful club in the world.

We deserve this,” he said, visibly emotional.

He continued, “We are going to enjoy the next couple of weeks and take it in.”

He also expressed how much the victory meant to him and the team, “I was desperate to win it for them [the fans] and all the fans around the world, and for us as well.”

Reflecting on the team’s success, Van Dijk added, “We have won two Premier League trophies in five years.”

The captain’s words reflected not only the team’s triumph but also their gratitude to the supporters who had backed them through thick and thin.

As they celebrated, Liverpool’s future looked even brighter with key players like Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah committing to two-year extensions, ensuring they remain at the heart of the team for the years to come.
