Several Liverpool fans are suggesting Virgil van Dijk should win the Ballon d’Or after he received the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award on Thursday night.
The centre-back featured in every European fixture for his side last season as he helped guide the team to Liverpool’s sixth Champions League win, while marshalling a defence that kept the most Premier League clean sheets last campaign.
Van Dijk faced competition from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who between them have won the award five times since its inception in the 2010/11 season.
It is the first time a player based in England has won the award, and the Dutchman’s success may not end there, as many consider him a credible candidate to win the Ballon d’Or.

In order to do so he will have to maintain his high level of performance until the end of 2019, when voting takes place, but many Liverpool fans already think he is a deserving candidate, judging by their reactions on Twitter.
