Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has revealed that he is looking forward to coming up against Liverpool and in particular, Virgil van Dijk.
As reported by the Mirror, the French superstar spoke of his admiration for Liverpool’s players ahead of Wednesday night’s meeting.
It’s really a pleasure to play against big defenders. It makes you progress, to increase your level which is already good if you play in the Champions League, so it’s only fun. I ask for more!
Liverpool got the better of the French champions in the previous meeting between the two sides.
The game finished 3-2 in Liverpool’s favour when PSG travelled to Merseyside, with Roberto Firmino, James Milner and Daniel Sturridge getting the goals on the night.
Thomas Meunier and Mbappe himself pulled two back for PSG at Anfield but they’ll be hoping for all three points on Wednesday night.
Mbappe had previously been considered as a doubt for the game but has since been passed fit.
The French side will be fully aware that they need a positive result as they sit third in the group behind Napoli and Liverpool.
