Incredible Virgil van Dijk statistics prove he is one of the best defenders in the world after Bayern Munich win
Virgil Van Dijk’s towering header helped Liverpool to a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich that secured a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.The match, which followed a goalless first leg, was finely balanced after Joel Matip’s own goal cancelled out Sadio Mane’s brilliant opener.2

Van Dijk grabbed an all-important second goal for Liverpool after Bayern had equalised

But Van Dijk, so influential in defence since his 75million signing, proved how valuable he can be at the other end with a towering far-post header for his third goal in four matches – more than he had scored in his previous 55 appearances.The leadership of Van Dijk, suspended for the Anfield tie, was critical as he and Matip kept the competition’s leading scorer Robert Lewandowski at arm’s length.

BEST IN THE WORLD?

• 100% aerial duels won
• 100% shot accuracy
• 100% tackles won

It was made all the more urgent to do so after Liverpool lost their captain Jordan Henderson to injury after 13 minutes.In the absence of the England international, van Dijk stepped up to the plate and contributed an assist and a crucial goal for Jurgen Klopp’s men.2
