Van Dijk was a standout performer throughout an historic season for the Reds that culminated in the club’s sixth European Cup success when Tottenham Hotspur were defeated in the Madrid final.
Jürgen Klopp’s side had already posted a remarkable total of 97 points in the Premier League, one short of Manchester City, as they made a significant development leap from 2017-18.

“I think the future looks pretty bright,” said the Liverpool centre-back, who also collected the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award last term.
