Watch: 'The reality is…': Van Dijk’s honest message to fans and teammates after Europa elimination

It was a competition we seemed destined to win and were favourites to do so but Liverpool are out of the Europa League and Virgil van Dijk faced the cameras.

Speaking with TNT Sports, our captain said: “The reality is that we’re out and we have to quickly, very quickly, turn this around.”

It’s the reaction that we’ve been crying out for over several games and weeks now but time is running out if we want to try and win the league.

Dreams of a quadruple and treble are gone, a double is all that remains and it seems we’ll have to win every game left in front of us for a chance of achieving it – something our recent performances haven’t suggested we will do.
