Many regard him as the best defender in the world, but Virgil van Dijk disappointed the Liverpool faithful as he failed to minimize Messi’s threats last night.

The newly crowned PFA Player of the Year was caught on his heels for Suarez’s opener in the first half. Although van Dijk looked comfortable in defending in one-on-one situations against Messi, the Dutchman went to sleep during Barcelona's second goal.
The monstrous centre-back will be disappointed with his performance as he lost his individual battle against Messi, and at the same time, failed collectively to shut down Barcelona..
Although Van Dijk was very vocal and helped to settle down the nerves with his calm and composed nature, he will go down as a flop with respect to the standards he has set for himself in recent times.
