Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson admits he regrets winding up Barcelona captain Lionel Messi last season at Anfield.

During their famous Champions League semifinal comeback, after seeing Messi grounded Robertson put both hands on the back of his head and half shoved him, then ran on.

He admitted to the Daily Mail: "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.

"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."
