PSG 2-1 Liverpool: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Flop: Virgil van Dijk

van Dijk struggled to impress during an eventful away clash in Paris

For a £75m defender, these types of performances are just not good enough. Yes, he has enjoyed an impressive season thus far for club and country - but against this quality of opposition, you cannot afford to make the mistakes he did here.

Partly to blame for PSG's opener, he switched off after making an initial interception which allowed Juan Bernat a free shot on-goal. As shown in the action replays, he was flat-footed and seemingly ball-watching - just like Lovren and Gomez - too sluggish to react quickly and stop the Spaniard in his tracks.

Crucially let Mbappe's fizzed delivery for their second goal flash straight across him with Edinson Cavani lurking and Neymar made no mistake for the rebound.

Committed three fouls - only Marco Verratti had more - made only one tackle and two clearances throughout the 90 minutes. At times he displayed some good signs of anticipation to deal with danger in deep areas, but was also naive with his positioning and caught out on more than one occasion.

Is that harsh? Perhaps, but for a player constantly heralded as one of the world's best defenders, he has to do better. In a game like this where intricate moments often decide games, he failed to cover himself in glory while other defenders thrived.
