Virgil van Dijk said that the expectation on Liverpool, along with the atmosphere at the City Ground, made it "tough" for Jurgen Klopp's men against Nottingham Forest.
Diogo Jota’s second-half strike gave Liverpool a narrow 1-0 victory in the FA Cup quarter-final. But Forest gave their Premier League visitors a number of scares throughout the game.
Forest went into the game looking to cause their third upset of the competition after wins over Premier League sides Arsenal and Leicester City in the third and fourth rounds. And van Dijk said that being the favourites to go through wouldn’t have helped Liverpool.
