V. van Dijk: I'm glad I don't have to play against L. Messi every season

"Liverpool" defender Virgil Van Dijk became a witness of impressive performances by "Barcelona" forward Lionel Messi.

The Dutch defender, defending the colors of the "Reds", could not help his team resist the Argentine's onslaught - the first UEFA Champions League semi-final match was lost 0:3.

"I am glad I don't play in Spain and don't have to face L. Messi every season.

Today he scored two goals, and I left the field very disappointed. Of course, Lionel won the battle, but not the war," said the "Liverpool" defensive pillar.

"In football, anything is possible, we definitely believe in that. That's who we are," said V. Van Dijk. - "Liverpool" never gives up and today we proved that we are capable of creating great opportunities to score, of course, they should be taken advantage of."
