“We can be a team that can keep progressing. We have players who can progress and make big steps in their development.
“Winning the league would be a big experience that could take us to the next level.”
Once this season is wrapped up Klopp will try to plot how his side can defend their crown.
And Van Dijk knows it will not be easy, as they found out with trying to retain their Champions League trophy this year, crashing out to Atletico Madrid.

“If we win the title this season, we will try to retain it,” the Dutchman added.
“That’s what we are aiming for but everyone knows how difficult it is to retain the title, especially in England and we are not there this season yet.
“We tried to retain our Champions League title and it wasn’t possible. It’s very difficult.
“We will try to focus on the nine games we have left but we hope to set the pace for the rest of next season with the title behind our name and defend the title as well.”
