<p>Liverpool’s European campaign ended in heartbreak after a dramatic clash with Luis Enrique’s side. The tie, which finished level on aggregate after Ousmane Dembele’s goal forced extra-time, ultimately saw PSG triumph in a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wrong-wayne-rooney-points-blame-at-lazy-virgil-van-dijk-for-liverpool-champions-league-defeat-psg/bltb76c44ff8e0f300c" target="_blank">tense penalty shootout</a> as Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones failed to convert their spot-kicks. However, rather than focusing on the match’s outcome, attention quickly shifted to<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/it-s-over-liverpool-fans-fear-worst-virgil-van-dijk-spotted-tunnel-chat-with-psg-president-nasser-al-khelaifi-luis-campos-ahead-contract-expiration/bltdbe5567432c79189" target="_blank"> Van Dijk’s tunnel conversation, </a>sparking concerns over his long-term future at Anfield as his contract is set to expire in the next few months.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to French broadcaster RMC Sport, the encounter between Van Dijk and the PSG officials was not pre-arranged, but rather an unplanned crossing of paths. During their exchange, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/winners-losers-psg-liverpool-champions-league-gigi-donnarumma-mohamed-salah/blt2964ebcae0cf4457" target="_blank">Liverpool captain reportedly apologised to Luis Campos </a>for his comments in the first leg of the tie.</p><p>The initial altercation stemmed from Campos’ frustration when Ibrahima Konate escaped a red card for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ibrahima-konate-liverpool-defender-red-card-shoving-psg-s-bradley-barcola-champions-league-clash/blt24362bb11a97ce13" target="_blank">an incident involving Bradley Barcola</a>. The challenge had undergone a lengthy VAR review, but the officials ultimately decided against issuing further punishment. After the match, Van Dijk fired back at an infuriated Campos, saying: "It’s not Ligue 1, bro." However, the two parties have mended their relationship after a respectful exchange at Anfield.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Van Dijk apparently also went on to praise PSG, stating that they were not only the best team he had faced this season, but the strongest side he had encountered over the past three years. The top brass of the French club reportedly enjoyed the discussion and any previous tensions were put to rest.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While his chat with PSG chiefs has raised eyebrows, Van Dijk has done little to dispel the uncertainty surrounding his Liverpool future. Speaking on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/virgil-van-dijk-says-anyone-claiming-liverpool-contract-extension-close-lying-defender-has-no-idea-if-at-anfield-next-season/blt3c05b43abd348e57" target="_blank">the Dutchman admitted he has no clarity </a>on whether he will be part of Arne Slot’s squad next season. With his contract set to expire at the end of the campaign, Liverpool and Van Dijk have yet to make progress on an extension, further fuelling speculation that his time at Anfield could be coming to an end. </p>
