Virgil van Dijk wants UEFA Super Cup success to be another step in Liverpool's development of a trophy-winning habit.
Van Dijk spoke of his delight at securing another continental winner’s medal following on from June’s Champions League victory.
“Hopefully it will be a nice habit [of winning trophies],” the centre-back told Liverpoolfc.com at Besiktas Park.
“It was tough, they played well [and] we had moments of playing well as well. I think it was a great game to watch as a neutral spectator, but overall we’re all very happy that we won the penalty shootout and take the cup with us.”
On the momentum swings throughout the 120 minutes, Van Dijk said: “I think we started good. We did well, we put them under pressure, we had moments.
“I think at times we lost the ball a little bit too easy and the gaps were too big and they did well, they countered on us in a couple of moments and became dangerous. [We had] a couple of moments that were a bit lucky with the offside trap and stuff, but after the break we did very well.
“We came out and we showed what we all want to see and then after that they had moments, we had moments as well and it could go any way. After all, it’s all about a bit of luck in the penalty shootout.”
