NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 22: Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk applauds his side’s travelling supporters before the match during the Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool at City Ground on February 22, 2026 in Nottingham, United Kingdom. In the end, though, Liverpool managed to end up with all three points. In the end, of course, that’s the point of the game and what matters most. “We want to play our best football and I think at times we are doing that,” captain Virgil van Dijk reflected after everything was said and done in Sunday’s 1-0 victory. And for that, they’ll need to improve on Sunday’s performance, eventually victory or not.
