Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk hopes to celebrate the extraordinary year of 2025 with a victory.

As 2025 draws to a close, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk delivered a heartfelt message ahead of the year-end finale against Wolves.

Van Dijk called on the team to end the year in the highest spirits at Anfield, and also reviewed the club's experiences over the past 12 months.

For Liverpool, 2025 will be an unforgettable year. Virgil van Dijk wrote emotionally in his matchday program that lifting the Premier League trophy at Anfield this April was an unforgettable moment in his career, a reward for the team's hard work both on and off the pitch.

However, after the peak came a devastating slump. Van Dijk paid special tribute to his teammate Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, who tragically passed away in July of this year. He said, "This is a pain that none of us have fully recovered from. They will never be forgotten, and we will always carry this memory with us."

Speaking about the team's performance this season, Van Dijk bluntly pointed out that the team is in a transitional period, and the frequent changes in the roster have led to fluctuations in the level of performance. "We haven't shown our best consistency yet," Van Dijk admitted. "As captain, I feel the pressure of those difficult moments more than anyone else."

Despite a morale boost from last weekend's away win against Tottenham and extending their unbeaten run to six games, Virgil van Dijk warned against complacency due to the opponent's lower league position. He reminded his teammates that any lapse in concentration in the Premier League is punishable, and they must especially address the lapses they made towards the end of the match against Tottenham.

"Let's end the year with a high-level victory in front of our Anfield fans," Van Dijk concluded. For Liverpool, who have experienced the joy of winning the championship and the pain of parting with teammates, the next game is not only a three-point battle, but also a tribute to and farewell to the extraordinary journey of 2025.
