Virgil van Dijk has called on the rest of the Liverpool squad to create history this season.
The Dutch defender has widely been praised as Liverpool’s Player of the Year as the Merseyside club remain on course for Premier League and Champions League success.
All eyes turn to the Liverpool’s trip to Porto this evening in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final, where they currently have a 2-0 lead going into the contest.
Progress tonight would see the club go on to face FC Barcelona in the semi-final of the European competition, then all eyes turn back to the Premier League where Liverpool will head to Cardiff on Saturday.
When speaking to the official Liverpool website, van Dijk believes Liverpool have what it takes to complete the double.
It is going to be tough, but it is a great time to be a Liverpool player, We have eight games left, fingers crossed, so we have to give it everything we have got. That’s what we have to do now, just focus on ourselves, give it everything we have and see where it takes us.
And if you think about it, what is eight games? You have to believe. You know, just go for it. We want to reach the final again because that is what we are all here for.
The Merseyside Reds were superior to their competition in the first leg at Anfield, with Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino both finding the net to give Liverpool that vital advantage, but van Dijk suggests it is not over yet.
We had a good result against them, but its not over yet and we know we are going to face an even harder game over here. We are not thinking we are through, but hopefully we can finish the job off and move in to the next round.
We know Porto can be dangerous. They had chances against us in the first game, especially in the second half and we know we need to do a little bit better than that.
