Virgil van Dijk admits he has no idea how to stop Lionel Messi

Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk had a really good week. The Liverpool defender helped his club finish off FC Porto this week in the Champions League quarter-finals and advance to the semi-finals where they’ll face off against Barcelona.

Apparently, the thoughts of how to stop Lionel Messi hit Van Dijk pretty quickly because he was asked about it after the match and already had some thoughts.

“How are we going to do it (stop Messi)? I don’t know, we’ll see. It’s going to be a great match-up for all of us,” he said.
