Virgil Van Dijk emphasized that Liverpool played a good first half against Real and that they could have avoided the second goal of the “Merenches”, he believes that in the second half they were passive on the ball against a solid and quality team, he asked to attempt the miracle in Madrid and gave the signal for the championship match with Crystal Palace.
Analytically: “We had a good first half, where we had full intensity. Then they scored a goal that I think we could have avoided but it was a great goal. After the first half we weren’t good on the ball, we were too passive. The harsh reality is that we are 5-2 behind and have an almost impossible task to pull off the upset in Madrid.
Football is about miracles and we hope we can do a miracle in Madrid. We should be more solid, they punished us with the quality they have. We have enough good stuff, we should stick together.
Not our best season as a club but that’s part of football. It’s about how you handle setbacks. Now we have to regroup for the next match against Crystal Palace. This is the reality”.
