The Liverpool star admitted that the series of defeats has taken a mental toll on him.
“Losing just hurts. It was a great football fight, but we are out. That’s disappointing. We could’ve made it, but unfortunately, Spain progressed.”
Despite the tough run, Van Dijk is determined to turn things around as Liverpool remain in the hunt for the Premier League title under Arne Slot.
Determined to End the Season on a High
