Andrew Robertson reveals he regrets shoving Lionel Messi’s hair during the second leg of last season’s Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona. After suffering a painful 3-0 defeat at the Camp Nou Stadium, the Merseyside club needed a miracle. Despite being without Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, Liverpool accomplished the mission to make a comeback, as they beat Barcelona 4-0 to reach the final match and win the title eventually. The match at the Anfield Road started with Robertson shoving Messi’s head, which clearly showed the attitude Reds had for the match. Despite being loved by fans for what he did, the Scottish international himself regrets what he had done back then. “When I look back on things I don’t really regret anything because I feel as if everything is experience that makes you what you are,” Robertson told the Daily Mail. “But I do look back on that moment with Messi as one regret. I don’t like seeing it. When I saw it afterwards I was gutted. “We all had the attitude that day that nothing was standing in our way to get to that final and we created that atmosphere around the stadium and me and Fabinho were tracking him and there was a tangle of legs and we were on the floor. To do that to the greatest player that has ever played… “I have nothing but respect for him and Barcelona, but we went into that game with the attitude that we were 3-0 down, we needed a miracle, we needed something special and if that little thing stopped the best player in the world playing to his highest potential… “But I do regret it. That’s not me as a person. That’s not my personality. But that night a lot of things happened that you don’t really remember. There was no thought process behind it. We were right up for the game. The fans were roaring and you get caught up in it. You’re a human being. We were 3-0 down in the semi-final of the Champions League, which we wanted to put right from the season before. It was the loudest changing room I have been in before the game. You could see the focus and the determination in all of us and maybe I went over the line. “But Liverpool fans like the edge, I think. I feel that maybe this whole team is quite good at representing Liverpool right now. Liverpool is a big working class city. We go out and show hard work. We get beaten in games but what you can’t question is that every time we go out there, we give 100 per cent.” Robertson added. Liverpool will face West Ham United on Monday as they will play their first match after losing to Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in the Champions League round of 16.
