Champions League winners Virgil van Dijk and Gini Wijnaldum were given a hero’s welcome when they linked up with their Netherlands team-mates on Monday night.
The Dutch duo rocked up at the national team hotel fresh from Liverpool’s triumph over Spurs in Madrid on Saturday night.
And upon their arrival, the pair were warmly greeted by their compatriots – who gave them a round of applause and a standing ovation.
Former Manchester United winger Memphis Depay then led a rendition of the Wijnaldum chant sung by Liverpool fans.

The Netherlands take on England in the Nations League semi-finals in Portugal on Tuesday night, just five days after the all-English showpiece at the Wanda Metropolitano.
LATEST FOOTBALL NEWS
Van Dijk and Wijnaldum were the only Dutchmen who featured, while England had seven players involved.
Jordan Henderson lifted the famous trophy alongside Liverpool team-mates Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez, as defeated Spurs players Eric Dier, Danny Rose, Dele Alli and Harry Kane watched on at the Wanda Metropolitano.
But Kane insists club matters will be put to one side as England look to end their long trophy drought.
“We’ve got such a great bond and, although we’re at different clubs, when we come here everyone’s fully focused on here,” the England captain said.
“You don’t have to talk to people about switching off from club football.
“Everyone just naturally does it and I think the fact we’ve played with each other in club sides and younger England sides (means) we’re all good friends.
