Virgil van Dijk won the Champions League with Liverpool
The Dutch defender has been outstanding since his £75m move from Southampton in January 2018 and was man of the match in the win over Spurs.
He insists more still to come, though, from himself and this Liverpool side.
“I think we should be hungry anyway,” he said in the post-match press conference.
“But this season with Liverpool ended today, we got the Champions League.
“It’s something that we definitely wanted but I think in July when we start again everyone starts at zero.
“Everyone is working towards their goals and obviously we want to challenge for every trophy if possible. We have the squad for it.

Van Dijk was outstanding once again as Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0
“Hopefully we can challenge Man City again next season for the title because I don’t think they will go anywhere, but we will go nowhere either.
“To be two years in a row in the Champions League final is something we hope to be every year, but we know how difficult it is to reach it.
“But we are all ambitious. We all want to have these nights a couple of times a year.
“So, let’s just go for it, work hard, stay humble. That’s the only way forward.”
Van Dijk was also named as PFA Player of the Year for his Premier League performances, as Liverpool ended one point behind Manchester City.
He was asked if he could be crowned as the world’s best player for 2019.
He responded: “I think (Lionel) Messi is the best player in the world.
“I think he deserves it as long as he plays, so the Ballon d’Or is not something I’m definitely thinking about.
