After the defeat (1-2) of his team on the 6th day of qualifying for Euro 2024, Virgil van Dijk returned to the performance of the Batavians in the mixed zone. The opportunity also for the Dutch defender to highlight the masterful response provided by a certain Kylian Mbappé, under pressure before the meeting. As a reminder, with his double, the Bondynois officially overtook Michel Platini in the ranking of top scorers in the history of the Blues (42 goals against 41).
“I think there were a lot of moments where we were able to stop Kylian Mbappé in his tracks. But in the end he scored twice, he was the man of the match. That’s the high level. There are several moments in a goal action where we can find solutions. But we can’t do it, and then there’s a mistake, we need to cover better. This is unfortunately sometimes the case in football, players like him can make the difference. That’s what he did”declared the Liverpool player.
