Anfield will host the first leg of a last-16 tie that pits two five-time winners of the competition against each other on Tuesday.

And Van Dijk, who is out of the match due to suspension, feels a closely-fought contest is in store.

“Obviously they have a great squad, great players. It’s a fantastic club and it’s a great opponent to play against, so it’s going to be a beautiful two games, I think,” the Netherlands captain told UEFA.

“I think, overall, the whole team has quality all over the pitch. Obviously, the players up front maybe have that bit extra, which you need at the bigger clubs.
