Liverpool go head to head with Barcelona on Wednesday night, as the Reds contest their second consecutive Champions League semi-final.
Virgil van Dijk, who recently picked up the PFA Player of the Year award, is set to come up against the player he regards as the 'best in the world' in a meeting that has football fans waiting with bated breath.
The player in question, Lionel Messi, led his Barça side to the 4-0 aggregate thrashing of Manchester United in the previous round and he will be hoping for more of the same against the Reds.
