Sky Sports host Kelly Cates apologised to both Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to begin their interview, after the duo lifted the Premier League title. Liverpool celebrated on the Anfield pitch as they ended the trophy-winning season with a draw to Crystal Palace.
Van Dijk held the title aloft to kickstart a party inside Anfield, singing You Never Walk Alone and lapping up their triumphant campaign with supporters. The captain and Salah were at the heart of the party, only to be dragged away from their team-mates and supporters to talk with the broadcaster.
Cates had previously asked Salah if he was willing to speak to Sky, only to be informed that he had other duties to take care of before conducting an interview.
When he returned, alongside Van Dijk, Cates began by saying: "Thank you so much for coming over to talk with us, apologies for dragging you away from these incredible scenes. Virgil thank you so much, congratulations."
After being asked what it meant to the Dutchman to hold the trophy in the air, he replied: "It's incredible, last time we didn't have a chance to do it in front of the Kop [due to Covid restrictions], today we had a chance and it is an incredible feeling to win the Premier League for this club."
