Liverpool defender has revealed his respect for Barcelona forward, Lionel Messi, after both sides met in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal encounter, which the Spanish team won 3-0, with Messi grabbing a brace.

The Premier League’s 2019 PFA Player of the Year was unable to contain the Argentine forward and keep him out.

Van Dijk after the game confessed such tests are a rare occurrence for him, ā€œWhen you come up against Messi and he produces his best form you can’t do anything.

ā€œI’m grateful that I’m not in Spain and I don’t have to face him every season.

ā€œHe scored two goals and I leave very disappointed. He won the battle but not the war.ā€

They have it all to do heading into a return date at Anfield on May 7, but nobody on Merseyside is throwing in the towel just yet.
