Liverpool: Fans appreciate kind words from James Milner about Virgil van Dijk

Liverpool fans have heaped praise on midfielder James Milner as he offered his congratulations to teammate Virgil van Dijk despite coming second in this year’s Ballon d’Or listings.

Barcelona’s Lionel Messi picked up the sixth Golden Ball of his career as he pipped the Dutchman to the France Football prize.

Milner wanted to see the Holland international pick up the prestigious prize, only to be beaten by a player who contributed to 70 goals during the last campaign.

Van Dijk had created an incredible reputation of not being dribbled past which lasted 64 games last season, which was the foundations for his colossus stature as a player.

Great achievement Virg – let’s go one better next year 👊 https://t.co/haTbiR3Mox
