Liverpool FC answered fan questions in a Sky Sports interview, saying that seeing Lionel Messi in the players' tunnel made him feel like a fan, and Virgil van Dijk is the best centre-back of the current era.

Do You Practice Celebrating Goals in Front of a Mirror Before Doing It on the Pitch?

No, that's not true. Yes, I do practice, but I don't practice in front of a mirror. You can't slide on your knees in the bathroom. It's too difficult.

Zlatan Ibrahimović Isn't as Scary as He Appears

Yes, that's true. As a teammate in the national team, you get to know him better when he's in the squad. He's a really good guy, you know. Of course, on the pitch, when you face an opponent, I understand why people think he's intimidating.

Swedish Food Is Better Than English Food

Yes, I'm Swedish, so of course I prefer Swedish food to English food.

What Swedish Dishes Would You Recommend for Viewers to Try?

I think the most common one is Swedish meatballs, and to be honest, they're really delicious.

Bukayo Saka Is Faster Than Expected

Yes, you know he's very fast, but I think he runs at an incredible speed when he played against Ipswich, and it seemed like he wasn't even trying that hard. He's really fast.

You've Never Felt Like a Fan in the Players' Tunnel

Actually, I have. It was probably when I first came to Spain, playing for Barcelona or Real Madrid. You have to be honest—seeing certain players makes you feel like a real fan.

Speaking of Those Players, Who Made You Feel That Way When You Saw Them in the Tunnel?

Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi is definitely one of them.

Virgil van Dijk Is the Best Centre-back of This Era

Yes, I think that's a fair statement. Over the past decade, I think he's one of the highest-level centre-backs, and he's maintained that high level for a long time, which is very difficult.

Of course, you were his teammate and played with him in training. What was it like playing against him regularly in training? Is he just a freak of nature?

Yes, he's a very experienced centre-back, very intelligent, and it's always difficult to play against him.

You Can Beat Jaca in a 50/50 Ball

Yes, I pick myself. I win on the ground, he wins in the air. I probably can't beat him in the air. I'd pick him for aerial duels. So we're 50/50. He's a great player, he's made a good start for us, and I think he has huge potential.

Since You Joined Liverpool FC, Have You Been Listening to The Beatles?

No, not really. I've been listening to The Beatles all along.

At First, I Didn't Understand the Scottish Accent

That's fine. I think my language skills are quite good. Of course, the Scottish accent is very distinctive, but I think I understand it well.

The Atmosphere at Anfield During Big Games Is So Loud That Sometimes I Can't Even Hear Myself

Well, I understand that feeling. But I can hear myself. Even though that doesn't mean it's not loud. I think when the atmosphere reaches its peak, you can't hear your teammates, but I can hear myself.

Outside the Premier League, the Bernabéu Is the Toughest Away Stadium to Play In

Yes, I think that's true.

Why Is It So Difficult?

It's a very big stadium, and of course, playing against Real Madrid there is not an easy opponent to face. Plus, the atmosphere there—it's a really tough stadium to play in.

Before You Became a Striker, Did You Ever Play in Midfield?

No, when I was young, I played in the number 10 position, but I wouldn't call that midfield.

How Many Goals Did You Score When You Played as a Striker as a Kid?

Hmm, I don't know. Not that many. There might have been one or two seasons where I did particularly well.

You Don't Have Pre-Match Rituals

No, that's not true. I do have rituals. I have my own personal rituals.

David Silva Is the Best Player You've Ever Worked With

Of course, I've worked with many great players over the years, and that's the case here too. But I think from my day-to-day training, from the technical level I've seen firsthand, David Silva is really exceptional. So yes, I'd rank him at the top.
