UEFA Champions League final: Liverpool's key man - Virgil van Dijk

Virgil Van Dijk has undoubtedly been the best player for Liverpool this season. The defender won the Premier League Player of the Year due to his impeccable performance at the heart of the Reds’ backline.

The Dutch defender had joined Liverpool for a record breaking £75 million in January 2018 from Southampton. The Dutchman has since delivered consistently for Jurgen Klopp’s side and is regarded by many as the best defender in the world.

Liverpool conceded just 22 goals in the Premier League this season and the team kept 20 clean sheets. They lost just one game and missed out on winning the title by just a point even after registering 97 points.
