Liverpool defender Andy Robertson couldn't help but shake hands with Virgil van Dijk during a challenge put on for the launch of the 2023-24 home kit.
As part of the media day for the Reds home strip for the upcoming campaign, the likes of the Dutchman, the Scotland captain, Ibrahima Konate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip and Luis Diaz were tasked with a number of challenges.
One of them was trying to get table tennis balls from the end of the table into five cups on the other side. As part of the task, there was points at stake for which cup the ball landed in ranging from 50, all the way down to minus 10.
Some of the players opted for different techniques, Matip tried blowing with a straw while defensive partners Konate and others tried varying approaches.

In the highlight of the video, the Dutchman turns to Robertson after arching the ball into the cup for 25 points and says: "Robbo [Robertson], watch this, I'll do it for you" before arrowing into the 50 points.
The Scotland captain was quick to congratulate his defensive partner with Van Dijk adding: "That's nice, huh?"

After troubles at the start for Robertson, Harvey Elliott and Alexander-Arnold, they all find their groove in a successful streak. It cuts to Matip, a cult-hero amongst fans, as he weaves around the table using the straw finding the cups in seamless fashion.
However, it wasn't entirely rosy for all of the Liverpool defenders. For Konate, the pressure and task proved too much as he unleashed his frustration at the game by launching the remaining table tennis balls across the table.
While Robertson previously congratulated Van Dijk, he had the last laugh as he was crowned the winner with an impressive haul of 50-point shots.
