#1 Virgil van Dijk
#1 on this list is another player who will feature in the Champions League final on Saturday. In an era when defenders rarely get the credit they deserve, Virgil van Dijk has stood apart from the rest, and has made a difference to this Liverpool side. He has been sensational at the back for the Reds, and has been receiving praises from every nook and corner.

After his phenomenal 2018/19 season, the 27-year-old won the PFA Player of the Year. He also became the first defender since John Terry in 2005 to win the prestigious award. Liverpool conceded only 22 goals in the Premier League this season, which is the best defensive record for any team in Europe’s top flights.
Leadership skills and ability to read the game are two of his biggest virtues. He has completely changed this young Liverpool unit, and has made them a force to reckon with.
