Virgil van Dijk was left in awe of PSG’s quality and style
Former UCL winner Virgil van Dijk has offered glowing praise for PSG ahead of the final with Inter Milan.
The Dutch defender, who was part of Liverpool’s 2019 UCL-winning squad, faced Luis Enrique’s side in this season’s Round of 16, as PSG overturned Liverpool’s narrow first-leg lead to win the tie on penalties.
“I was very impressed by PSG’s style of play, the individual quality of their players, and the effort they put in,” Van Dijk told L’Équipe [via GOAL France].
“It was quite surprising that we won, given how much they dominated us – but that’s football.”
Van Dijk’s observation mirrors the growing admiration for the French side across Europe.
PSG have scored 33 goals in the competition so far in 2024/25 and they lead the tournament in shots on target and big chances created.
Luis Enrique is aiming to become just the second coach in history to win trebles with two clubs alongside Pep Guardiola. With his squad peaking at the right time, Inter could have their hands full at the Allianz Arena.
