Next Wembley for Liverpool
Liverpool will have to recover quickly if they claim their first piece of cutlery this season, since their next game comes on Sunday against Newcastle in the EFL Cup final in Wembley.
Captain Van Dijk told Amazon Prime: “It was a great very intense football game, I think it also be part of him. I was totally there for Liverpool and unfortunately we are in sanctions and that is reality.
“I think that in the first half we create dangerous moments and they also have quality, and then it is reduced to penalties.

Liverpool improves but it is not enough yet
Liverpool uploaded his luck last week to ensure a 1-0 victory in the Parc Des Princes last week with goalkeeper Alisson making a series of excellent salvages before Harvey Elliott was late.
They were much better tonight, although PSG had the greatest threat as the game progressed.
“I think we were also quite good today, and you want to go as far as possible, but we knew that when we drew PSG it was going to be very difficult,” added Van Dijk.
“We saw (that) in Paris when we fight but won, and today we saw a very good Liverpool team, but we are out of the competition.
“When fatigue is activated for both sides, it becomes more open but especially regular time, we show a very good game. We can talk about the game for years, but we are out of competition, that is reality. “
