COMMENTARY

Virgil van Dijk is undoubtedly one of the best defenders that Liverpool fans have had the pleasure of watching turn out for their side and he demonstrated exactly why with his performance against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night. He might have some questions to answer about the German side’s goal – as do most of the defence – but for the majority of the clash he was dominant at the Allianz Arena at both ends of the pitch. Not only was he defensively composed but he also showed his exceptional ball playing abilities with a sumptuously weighted long ball forward for Sadio Mane’s opener before finding himself on score sheet with a towering header. It is exactly the sort of display that the Anfield faithful have come to expect and while some players might have wilted under the pressure and expectation of such a crucial clash, he rose above everyone – quite literally – to shine. Only the Liverpool board know what sort of price tag he has on his head right now but this display has added another couple of million onto it, that is for sure.
