Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk hailed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are two of the finest players to ever grace the beautiful game. Virgil van Dijk, on the other hand, is often considered one of the best defenders in recent times.
The Dutchman has faced both legends during his time at Liverpool and also on the international scene.
While speaking to ESPN Argentina, he hailed the duo for their impeccable careers (via PSG Talk):
“They have been crazy if you think about it. The amount of goals they’ve scored, you saw the other day that Ronaldo had the 700th career goal, that’s outstanding, outrageous. Messi, incredible. They have been the two faces of football a little bit of the last decade.
"Just respect for them and for me to play against these guys and to experience them in real life is definitely a pleasure. … It was also a nice thing to sit next to them in the UEFA ceremony award, it was a great experience.”
