The Reds won 4-0 (4-1 on aggregate) against Spurs in Thursday's (06.02.25) semi-final second leg to seal a spot in next month's Wembley final but the captain wasn't totally satisfied with his team's dominant performance

Van Dijk told Sky Sports: "We needed a complete performance. I still think at half-time we could get a level up in terms of the intensity and put them even more under pressure and that's what I've said [to the team] as well.

"But to win here like we did tonight is great for the team and the club and now we focus on the FA Cup."

The Dutch defender continued: "You wanted to start obviously with loads of intensity and I think the game got interrupted a couple of times in the first half. It ruins a little bit of momentum that was there.

"We still did it now and then but I felt like we could do a little bit more and make it even more uncomfortable for them because obviously we know they have the quality to play out. They want to play through the middle and they have these patterns and stuff and if you bring intensity to the game then anybody can make mistakes. I think in the second half we did that and it was a beautiful win today."

Van Dijk is out of contract at Anfield in the summer but says that anyone who claims to know about his future "are absolutely wrong".

He said: "The only thing I'm focusing on is the game ahead of me, and I'm feeling good.

"I think everyone can see that, and what the future brings, at the moment, I've got no idea. So anyone who says they know it, they are absolutely wrong. But we'll see what happens."
