Liverpool supporters would be forgiven for feeling pretty down after our crushing defeat to Real Madrid but Virgil van Dijk remained resolute after the match, providing a rally call to his teammates and our fans.
Speaking with Peter Schmeichel, our No.4 said: “The harsh reality is we are 5-2 down and have an almost impossible task to turn it around it Madrid. But football is full of miracles and let’s hope we can pull off a miracle”.
You have to admire the confidence and it is important to remember that we’ve come back from a three goal deficit to Spanish opponents in the Champions League before.
We’re not out yet but it would take a monumental effort for the Reds to achieve the impossible at the Bernabeu, something our centre-half is hoping we can do.
