Liverpool boss Virgil van Dijk is aware that his team can still go trophy-less after a brilliant season, but dismissed claims that it would be seen as a failure.

The Reds are now tasked to come back from a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League.

If they fail to achieve this and Manchester City don’t slip up in the Premier League, Liverpool could end the season without a trophy.

Van Dijk has refused to count his team out of the tie and believes they have what it takes to punish Barcelona in the second leg next Tuesday.

“We’re not going to think about that,” he told DAZN.

“We’re having a good season and we will try to win something and, if not, we keep working.

“We can be proud of ourselves, we’re playing against one of the best teams in the world and obviously in the league we’re playing also against one of the best teams in the world.

“We’re in both races and I think many, many teams would love to be in our position.”

“Anything is possible in football. We definitely believe. That’s how we are,” he said.

“We will never give up and we showed today that we can definitely create big chances against them, the only thing is we have to try and score them.”
