Mignolet: Liverpool set to dominate England and Europe

Club Brugge goalkeeper Simon Mignolet believes Liverpool can dominate England and Europe for years to come.

The Reds are 22 points ahead on top of the Premier League table, whilst also competing in the FA Cup and Champions League.

"Why not? It started when I was still there and was only heading in one direction," former Reds goalkeeper Mignolet told the Mirror.

"Last season we won the Champions League and winning that first trophy was very important for the dressing-room.

"Once you have that in the bag, you build on it. The hunger is even greater to win trophies and you want to get your hands on the next one."

The Belgium international added: "The stability is there and, if you've got so much quality up front, with Sadio [Mane], Mo [Salah] and Roberto [Firmino], then you're incredibly strong.

"They are still a relatively young team, and you also see what the reserves did in the FA Cup, so the basis is there to build for the long-term.

"I knew Liverpool would be challenging for trophies again, but what they're doing this season is unbelievable and I hope they can win the league as quickly as possible."
