Liverpool produced one of their best performances of the campaign to have 32 shots as they beat Galatasaray 4-0 and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. And Van Dijk said: “I think occasionally we have been showing and playing good games but not consistently and on a regular basis and it’s been frustrating for all of us and for the fans as well.”Supporters had booed at the end of the Spurs game but there was a raucous atmosphere at Anfield on Tuesday for Galatasaray’s visit.

“There is a reason why there is frustration this season because we had an amazing season last year; we became champions, we had consistent, good football, finding ways to win, and this season we have had so many ups and downs dealing with difficult moments and there has been frustration because we want to perform every three or four days as well.”Liverpool were back to their best against Galatasaray (PA)Van Dijk felt the players and supporters both fed off each other in their energetic display against Galatasaray. This season as players we take full responsibility for a lot of performances when we have not been good enough.” Liverpool are now in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2022 and Van Dijk added: “Someone told me for me personally it is my fifth time in eight years so it’s not a given.

We shouldn’t take this team for granted and we are not going to do that either. We have been having good performances this season and we haven’t been able to build on it the next time.”
