LIVERPOOL captain Virgil van Dijk said the English champions must build from the back after producing their best performance of the season to beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday.

REAL Madrid defender Eder Militao battles Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk during their UEFA Champions League match at Anfield in Liverpool on Tuesday night.
Prior to a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, Liverpool had lost six of their previous seven games and gone 10 matches without a clean sheet.
Madrid arrived in Merseyside in free-scoring form, but were limited to very few opportunities as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois prevented an embarrassing score for the 15-time European champions.
"It is easy to say now because we won twice in a row. In a world of chaos you have to stay calm and see perspective of things," said Van Dijk.
"We all know how football works - it can change overnight."
