Virgil van Dijk could have done more with Barcelona’s opener
They went on to beat Liverpool 3-0 as Lionel Messi scored twice to put one foot in the final.Van Dijks role in that Suarezs opener was criticised by both former Arsenal manager Wenger and ex-Manchester United defender Ferdinand.Wenger told beIN Sports: It was a half of top-quality.We saw a really high intensity from Liverpool. I feel they are unlucky to be 1-0 down because they are dangerous.Physically they are stronger than Barcelona, especially pace-wise. Barcelona made two or three yellow cards because they could not even run with Liverpools players.But when they get into the final third Barca have that quality. One chance, one goal.It is very interesting because Virgil van Dijk (usually) covers, but he should go with Suarez to cover that goal.

Especially from a centre-back with that quality he lets him go. At the start his position is not bad, but he refuses to respond.Its a great goal because the cross is fantastic. For a goalscorer it is ideal. It is marvellous football.Ferdinand told BT Sport: Virgil van Dijk hes at fault. He can see Suarez there, hes pointing where he wants it. Its not rocket science.Hes right in front of him thats your man the no9 on the back of his shirt. Static. Virgil van Dijk there was static. Its criminal.In that position he has to be Matips eyes and ears. Hell be disappointed with that.
