Virgil van Dijk's Premier League match against Brentford marked his 150th game in charge as captain of Liverpool.
The Dutch defender, who took on the captaincy permanently in 2023 following Jordan Henderson's departure, reflected on the significance of this milestone for his career.
"I help everyone in any way I can, both on and off the pitch. It all starts with leading by example, but it’s not always easy to come to another country and adapt as quickly as possible. However, the lads have done really well.
We need to keep learning, moving forward, and want to be important, and that’s exactly how it is. Being captain of Liverpool is an incredible honour.
I never thought about it because it seemed so unattainable, but to be in this position is just amazing. It’s an absolute honour, and I’m truly happy."
