Virgil van Dijk’s wonderful 2019 continues, with the 28-year-old winning Goal 50‘s best player award.
The Dutchman has been colossal at the heart of Liverpool’s defence, inspiring them to Champions League glory.
Now widely seen as the world’s best centre-back, he remains the Reds’ most important player in a team littered with world-class talent.
Van Dijk has beaten off competition from all-time greats Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were second and fourth respectively.
Interestingly, Mohamed Salah (third) finished ahead of Sadio Mane (fifth) – something a number of Liverpool supporters would disagree with.

Van Dijk’s triumph is richly deserved, having put together arguably the most dominant 12 months by a Reds defender in history.
His performances have been a joy to watch, with the defender not having a single weakness in his game.
Van Dijk is not only well on his way to being a true Liverpool legend, he could be become one of the greatest centre-backs of all time, too.
