Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk admits that he has ambitions to win a second Champions League crown in the future.

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has acknowledged that he wants to experience winning the Champions League for a second time.

Having helped the Merseyside giants win their sixth crown last season, Van Dijk was part of the team which bowed out at the last-16 stage to Atletico Madrid earlier in 2020.

After the disappointment of that night, Van Dijk has admitted that he holds a strong desire to lift European football's premier trophy in the future.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, the Dutchman said: "Winning the Champions League was surreal. I slept only one hour after, then we went straight back to Liverpool after that and then we went on the parade. I couldn't keep my eyes open; I was so tired, but it was an unbelievable night, something I will never forget.

"It was just incredible, from start to finish, it's something we all want to experience again, whether it's in the Premier League or next season in the Champions League. We will try and go again. Hopefully we can experience something similar in the future."

Liverpool are currently waiting for a decision to be made regarding the resumption of the Premier League.
