Barcelona knows that the Champions League is not over

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk told ESPN Brasil that Barcelona were going to Anfield for the second leg of their Champions League semifinal, knowing that the match was not over despite his deficit. 3-0.

However, Van Dijk, who was recently named player of the year for PFA players, said Liverpool was still there and Barcelona knew it.

"We played a good game, despite the result," said the 27-year-old. "We had a great chance to score too.

"I think if we had scored at least one or two, people would have spoken a lot differently.We must be realistic: we are 3-0 at the moment.We have a lot of work to do at Anfield.

"We will not give in. We will certainly remain confident because we have to, we have had a fantastic season, it's going to be strange for them to come here with a 3-0 advantage, but they still have head that it will not be over. "

The clashes at Camp Nou saw Van Dijk take on Messi and, although the Barca was scored twice, the Dutch international said he enjoyed the challenge.

"I think he's the best in the world," he added. "I told him before even playing against him.

"He's shown his clbad for the last 10 years, it's great to see him play for a neutral player, but it's great to meet him as well.

"You can test yourself, you can see how you can cope with it .It was obviously great to meet him but it's not mine, it's not his." C & # 39 is in Liverpool and Barcelona and both teams want to go in the final. "
