Liverpool captain, Virgil van Dijk has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain is the best team the Reds has faced so far this season. The Netherlands international spoke after his side’s UEFA Champions League Round of 16 exit at the hands of PSG on Tuesday.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is expecting an even tougher test from Paris St Germain at Anfield than in the Parc des Princes last week. On Wednesday they were dominated by the Ligue 1 champions in a way rarely, if ever, seen in recent seasons and were fortunate to snatch a 1-0 victory late on in their Champions League last-16 first leg.

There is nothing in a widely-reported meeting between Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Van Dijk following Liverpool's Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain. It was not planned at all. Al-Khelaifi simply embraced Van Dijk before the pair expressed mutual respect. The Ligue 1 table-toppers' sporting director Luis Campos then joined for a brief chat.
