#1 – Virgil Van Dijk

Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg
Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg

Only player apart from Sadio Mane who has maintained his ranking this month is Virgil Van Dijk. The Dutch defender has been in incredible form this year and has helped his side a lot.

With Liverpool, he finished runner-up in the Premier League before winning the Champions League. With The Netherlands, he took them to the UEFA Nations League final but came up short at the final hurdle.

Van Dijk might see his ranking go down next month if Messi does well in Copa America but apart from that, there is no real threat for him right now.

His Liverpool teammate, Alisson Becker is the only one who can come close but unless he does exceptionally well in the semi-final and the final (if Brazil make it) of Copa America, he cannot overtake Van Dijk in the ranking.
