Van Dijk has made 58 appearances for club and country this season and, with one more 90-minute match on the horizon, he has the chance to go through an entire campaign without one player being able to go past him with the ball. But that final 90 minutes before a deserved holiday happens to be the UEFA Nations League final against Portugal in Porto on Sunday and he arguably faces the biggest test of all when he goes up against Cristiano Ronaldo.

The race to win the Ballon d'Or is perhaps as open as it has been for over a decade but Van Dijk is firmly positioned among the front-runners and could become the first defender to claim the prize since Fabio Cannavaro received the award in 2006 after captaining Italy to World Cup success.

Van Dijk already has the Champions League in the bag, and some would argue that he had Messi in his pocket during the semifinal second leg at Anfield, when Liverpool's remarkable 4-0 victory overturned a 3-0 first-leg defeat to send them to the final. But Ronaldo will still believe he should be the front-runner for this year's Ballon d'Or after becoming the first player to win domestic titles in England, Spain and Italy following his move to Juventus this season.

Van Dijk has made defending look like an art form at times this season with his strength, pace and reading of the game making him a majestic figure at the back for Liverpool and Netherlands.

If Ronaldo can't beat him on Sunday, who can?

's January transfer window move from to has been confirmed by Benfica legend Antonio Veloso. “It’s no surprise to me that Lindelof is being transferred. I just did not know… More if it would be now or at the end of the season, since there was strong interest from Manchester United and other clubs. He is an important player in Benfica, but the team has other high-quality ones like Jardel or Lisandro, and does not lose. But we are sorry to see him leave, of course.”
