Virgil van Dijk scored Liverpool's crucial second goal as they won 3-1 at Bayern Munich on Wednesday to book their place in the Champions League's last eight.
Sadio Mane netted either side of Van Dijk's powerful 69th-minute header to earn a big result for Liverpool, three weeks after the sides drew 0-0 in the first leg when the Dutch defender was suspended.
Speaking to BT Sport after the final whistle in Germany, Van Dijk said: 'It is a great evening. We knew it would be tough as they have a great team with fantastic players.
'We were unlucky on their equaliser but we got the job done and we're into the last eight. It is very important and it feels amazing to score.'
