Virgil van Dijk warns Liverpool teammates to be ready for Bayern Munich

Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool want to go through to the next round of the Champions League but need to beware of Bayern Munich’s quality and experience in dealing with European knockout situations.

The Reds made it to the final of the tournament in their first season back from almost a decade exodus but Bayern are no pushovers despite their ageing squad.

The biggest obstacle for Liverpool will be coping with Robert Lewandowski without Virgil van Dijk.

Van Dijk said: “Obviously they have a great squad, great players. It’s a fantastic club and it’s a great opponent to play against, so it’s going to be a beautiful two games, I think.

“I think, overall, the whole team has quality all over the pitch. Obviously, the players up front maybe have that bit extra, which you need at the bigger clubs.

“They’ve been doing it for years, so a lot of respect for them. But, we obviously want to go through to the next round.

“We need to be ready for anything. We want to win those games, we want to go through and we need to be more than 100 per cent to go through because they are a fantastic team.”
