Liverpool's title triumph is their second in five years and came in Arne Slot's first season since succeeding Jurgen Klopp in charge.
"When the season started everyone would have been happy if we were in the top four for Champions League again but I don't think that was fair to our players because they are much better than that and that's what they have showed this season," he told Sky Sports.
Liverpool FC captain Van Dijk gave an overjoyed interview as he spoke to broadcasters shortly after securing the win.
"A lot of emotions before the game, during the whole week, but we got the job done and we (are) truly deserved champions of England," he told Sky Sports.
He added that Liverpool is "the most beautiful club in the world and I think we deserve all of this. Let's enjoy the next couple of weeks and let it sink in."
