# Liverpool: Fans react to clip of Ragnar Klavan and Virgil van Dijk after Euro 2020 qualifier

**The [Euro 2020 qualifying clash of Estonia and Netherlands](https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/season=2020/matches/round=2001086/match=2026200/index.html) last night pitted a current Liverpool defender against a former Reds team-mate.**

The Dutch were [captained by Virgil van Dijk](https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/season=2020/matches/round=2001086/match=2026200/lineups/index.html?iv=true), whose team [won 4-o in Tallinn](https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/season=2020/matches/round=2001086/match=2026200/index.html), while the [hosts’ skipper was centre-back Ragnar Klavan](https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/season=2020/matches/round=2001086/match=2026200/lineups/index.html?iv=true), who briefly played alongside van Dijk at Anfield.

The two players exchanged warm greetings after the game, as seen in a video clip shared by [@TheRedmenTV](https://twitter.com/TheRedmenTV/status/1171173964607107077) on Twitter.

Klavan joined Liverpool from Augsburg in July 2016 for around £4.2m, as reported by [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36821977), and made [53 appearances for the Reds](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ragnar-klavan/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/26669) in two seasons, [playing alongside van Dijk on seven occasions (as per Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ragnar-klavan/gemeinsameSpiele/spieler/26669/plus/0?gegner=0&kriterium=2&wettbewerb=&liga=&verein=31&pos=3&status=0).

He scored [two goals for Liverpool](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ragnar-klavan/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/26669) in his time at the club, [one against Derby in the EFL Cup in 2016/17](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37346111)and a [stoppage time winner away to Burnley](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42411028) in the Premier League on New Year’s Day 2018.

He was an [unused substitute in the 2018 Champions League final](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44258022) and last year he left for Cagliari in a £2m deal, as reported by [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45220161).

These Liverpool fans on Twitter were highly complimentary about the 33-year-old Estonia defender:
