Henderson, Van Dijk share emotions of winning

Henderson on winning:

“Amazing, it’s hard to describe to be honest. But after the final whistle it was just an amazing feeling again, especially to spend it with all the lads and the staff. To finally get over the line is a relief but also an amazing feeling.”

Virgil Van Dijk on winning:

“Emotional but just full of joy. It’s such a good feeling. We’ve worked so hard already this season and we are not finished yet. It’s been a dream come true for all of us already. For me personally, coming to the club, winning the Champions League, winning the Premier League in the two-and-a-half seasons I’ve been at the club, it is just magnificent personally and a dream come true. It’s something I always hoped for when I joined Liverpool. It’s just amazing and it’s amazing to be part of this group. It’s amazing also to be with these kind of players, the manager, the staff, Melwood, all the people there are looking after us. Everyone has to feel like a champion who is part of us, including the fans of course.”

Henderson on watching the game:

“We were pretty relaxed, just trying to enjoy the game, but then any little bit of action at either end of the pitch, it was a bit tense. There was quite a bit that was happening, especially in the second half, so it was a good game to watch and in the end, obviously we were delighted with the result and hopefully, we can start to celebrate once I’m finished here!

“It was definitely important for us to be together I think, in this moment. We didn’t know if we were going to watch the game together but I felt like if something did happen, were City to drop points and we did win, I felt it was right to be together and thankfully we were tonight and we all can celebrate together.”

Virgil Van Dijk on watching together:

“It was a lovely day to be together and have a nice barbecue and whatever happened tonight, it was going to be a nice day together. Obviously we knew there was a chance that City may drop points and it was a very intense game to watch. I don’t like to watch too many games but this one was intense, especially after City equalized after a fantastic free-kick from Kevin De Bruyne. But we did it in a fantastic way and fully deserved – and nobody can say anything about this title because we thoroughly deserved it. Personally, I’m just very proud – proud of the team, proud of myself where I came from and my journey I’ve been taking so far. It’s just incredible you know. And to call myself a Champions League winner and a Premier League winner is just something special.”
