Van Dijk scored the winning header in the 92nd minute, securing a 3-2 triumph.

In a post-match interview, Van Dijk said the team had pushed hard for a 3-1 lead, but conceded an equalizer that was largely deflected, which wasn't ideal.

However, the team found a way to win and Van Dijk believed they were a threat in set-piece situations, despite Atletico's aggressive play.

Van Dijk praised Atletico's quality and the team's never-give-up attitude, saying they can punish opponents if they're not alert.

He noted that Atletico gained confidence from their equalizer before halftime and attempted to capitalize on it after the break, but the Reds showed their resilience and determination.

Van Dijk emphasized that the team has consistently demonstrated their ability to bounce back and fight for results, and this match was no exception.

He also highlighted the importance of getting a winning start and the satisfaction of securing three points at home against a tough opponent.
