"It's very important as you miss the play-offs, and it helps with the intense programme that we're having. It's all down to us again next week, at home," Van Dijk said."
"Let's make sure we're in the top eight. We've put ourselves in a good position, but that's for next week."
"We always keep saying it after a win or a good result. We'll fully focus on recovery now, and then we go to Bournemouth, and they're hard to beat," Van Dijk added."
"We have to be more than ready. We fly back tomorrow. Onto the next."
Liverpool beat Marseille 3-0 at the Stade Velodrome with goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo plus an own goal by Geronimo Rulli. The win extended Liverpool's unbeaten run to 13 matches across all competitions and kept the club among the leaders for most away wins in this Champions League group stage. Liverpool moved to 15 points and into fourth in the 36-team standings, with Qarabag remaining as the final group opponent. Securing a top-eight place would avoid extra fixtures while managing a stretched squad with injuries. Attention now shifts to a Premier League trip to Bournemouth.
