Liverpool are not content to rest on their laurels after winning the Champions League, according to Alisson, who has his sights set on more success as the 2019-20 season progresses.

The Reds conquered Europe for a sixth time back in May, beating Premier League rivals Tottenham 2-0 in the showpiece final.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have built on that platform with a superb start to the new season, storming clear at the top of the table while also kicking off the defence of their European crown.

A 4-1 win over Genk in Belgium on Wednesday night ensured that Liverpool moved onto six points in their Champions League group, three behind leaders Napoli but three clear of third-placed Red Bull Salzburg.

Liverpool are among the favourites to win the competition again come May and have also been tipped to end their 30-year wait for a league title in England.

Alisson insists that every member of Klopp’s squad is pulling in the same direction, as the team aims to improve on their stellar 2018-19 showing.

The Brazil international told Liverpool’s official website after their latest victory: "It’s a long road, we need to keep focused and keep playing well in the games, put more intensity into the games.

“We are in the right way. We have a lot to grow during the season. We achieved big things last season but we don’t want to stop, we want more.

“But to achieve more we need to work more and work hard because everyone wants to beat Liverpool, the last champion of the Champions League. So we need to work hard. We have a good chance.”

Alisson has only just returned to full fitness after missing the first few weeks of the new season through injury. (Reuters)
