Holland captain Virgil van Dijk says he is proud of what his side achieved at the World Cup after they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Argentina on Friday night.

The Dutch lost on a penalty shootout, having fought back from 2-0 down to equalise with the last kick in normal time.

Van Dijk was the first up in the shootout, but Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez pulled off a brilliant save to deny the Liverpool defender. Argentina went on to win the shootout 4-3.
