Virgil van Dijk cries out at rivals taking delight in Liverpool's Champions League misery

Virgil van Dijk has cried out at rival teams and supporters delighting in Liverpool's Champions League misery.

Van Dijk believes the rival teams Criticizing then should be 'jealous' rather than acting 'happy' that the Reds made it to the final in the first place.

Liverpool suffered a 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid in Kiev, with Loris Karius making two catastrophic errors.

‘Of course we should be proud of ourselves,’ Van Dijk told talkSPORT. ‘All the teams in England want to be in our position right now.

‘They act like they’re happy, but I think they should be jealous.

‘We were here, unfortunately we lost, but I think we need to take this to next season and make sure we do even better than we did this year.’

It was a memorable ride for Van Dijk and Co, who knocked out Porto, Manchester City and Roma en route to the European showpiece.

The former Southampton defender helped add solidity to Liverpool's defence and there was very little he could do about the goals conceded on Saturday night as most errors was from the goal keeper.

Van Dijk will no doubt be looking forward to a break this off-season before attempting to go one better next term.
