This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were quick to share their reactions to Kompany’s admission.

Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:

Is Virgil van Dijk the greatest ever PL defender?

Yes

Yes

No

The Dutch defender has been at Liverpool since January 2018 and has since guided Liverpool to a Champions League title, a UEFA Super Cup title and the FIFA Club World Cup (per Transfermarkt). Now that Kompany has come out and shared his praise for the Liverpool defender, this sparked a big reaction on Twitter.

What do we think?

Given the amount of time Kompany spent playing in the Premier League and the numerous trophies he won during that time, this certainly is high praise for Van Dijk.
