Liverpool defender looks back on a galling night for Celtic.
Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk has a point to prove against Barcelona this week.
He has visited the Nou Camp once with Celtic and it was a disaster.
His Celtic side were beaten 6-1, by a Barcelona team who were without Lionel Messi.
Now ahead of the Champions League semi-finals, Van Dijk admits he has watched the game back.
He told The Mail: “I saw some videos, but if you are losing 6-1, as a defender, you can’t say you had a good game.
“But the good thing for me personally was I took a lot of experience from that night and that helped me, obviously.”
For all the good Van Dijk did in the game individually, the result was a humiliation, although not a surprise.
It would be a big shock if this Liverpool team conceded six goals this week in the Champions League semi-final.
The Reds have conceded only 20 goals in 22 Premier League games, form which has them on the brink of ending their title drought.
Van Dijk has a chance to create new memories at the Nou Camp this week.
Liverpool paid £75 million to sign Van Dijk a year ago, and it has been money well spent so far. A clean sheet at Barcelona will make it look a snip.
