What do we think?
To finish second behind Lionel Messi in the 2019 Ballon d’Or awards just goes to show how Van Dijk has blossomed into one of the greatest footballers in Europe right now. If he can stay fit and keep performing for Jurgen Klopp’s side, there’s no reason why they can’t win every trophy available to them this season.
