Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney found himself face to face with Liverpool's Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk just days after their verbal war escalated. This occurred during an interview with Amazon's analyst following Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Real Madrid. Van Dijk touched upon their war of words in the interview, saying: «You try to stay calm in a world of chaos and look at things with a cool head. There are many more games and many variables that can happen, even though the noise was big». When another presenter asked van Dijk: «Do you mean anyone by this statement?», the Dutchman, as Rooney held back laughter, replied: «No, I don't mean anyone in particular. But I think it's important to put things into perspective, to be humble and to try to correct things».
