Virgil van Dijk explains what Liverpool must do to pull off comeback against PSG

  • Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admitted that "probably no one gives us a chance" to overturn a two-goal deficit against Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League quarter-final tie.
  • Van Dijk intends to inspire his teammates following Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat by recalling Liverpool’s historic 2019 comeback against Barcelona, where they recovered from a 3-0 first-leg loss to win 4-0 at Anfield.
  • He stressed the importance of belief, a strong game plan, and intense effort from the team to achieve a similar result.
  • The defender described Liverpool's 16th defeat of the season, including the 2-0 loss to PSG and three consecutive losses in all competitions, as "unacceptable".
  • Van Dijk acknowledged the team's need for a significantly improved attacking threat in the return leg, noting their failure to register a single shot on target in Wednesday’s match.
