Looking forward to Virgil van Dijk vs Lionel Messi’s Duel

DBasia.news –  Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool defender, will duel with Barcelona’s superstar, Lionel Messi, in the Champions League semifinals. The second duel will be highly anticipated.

Liverpool qualified for the 2018-2019 Champions League semifinals. The result was achieved after removing FC Porto with a score of 6-1 on aggregate in the quarter-finals.

Even so, Liverpool were blocked by Barcelona in the last four. Not an easy matter as Blaugrana has a megastar like Lionel Messi.

The duel between Lionel Messi and Liverpool defender, Virgil van Dijk, was so anticipated. Understandably, both players are considered to be the best in their respective positions.

Virgil van Dijk himself feels impatient to face Lionel Messi. However, the Dutch national team captain said he needed the support of his team-mates.

“The match against Barcelona is good for Liverpool. We will face as a team, not one against one,” Virgil van Dijk told Viasport Fotball.

“The match between Liverpool against Barcelona is not a duel between me and a particular attacker. This is a match between two teams. That is what makes us survive well.”

“I know, the match against Barcelona will be heavy. In my opinion, Lionel Messi is the best player in the world right now. I will think of a way, just wait and see,” he continued.
