Liverpool's 2-1 win against Lille in the Champions League sees Virgil van Dijk tie the record for most victories by a Liverpool player in their first 50 European Cup/Champions League appearances.
Liverpool cemented their remarkable record in this season's Champions League with a 2-1 victory over a ten-man Lille, extending their winning streak to seven matches. This triumph marked a significant milestone for Virgil van Dijk, equaling the record for most victories by a Liverpool player in their first 50 European Cup / Champions League appearances. Van Dijk's tally now stands at 35, placing him alongside club legend Phil Neal at the top of the list.
Neal, during his illustrious 73-year-old career at Anfield, secured a remarkable 23 trophies, including four European Cups between 1977 and 1984. This shared record means that van Dijk and Neal will forever be etched in Liverpool's history books. Since joining Liverpool from Southampton for £75 million in January 2018, van Dijk has been instrumental in the club's success, winning eight trophies, including a Premier League title, an FA Cup, two EFL Cups, a Community Shield, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. With Liverpool competing on four fronts, van Dijk has a strong chance to add more silverware to his collection. The Reds face Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fourth round, trail 1-0 in their Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham, lead the Premier League table by six points, and are guaranteed a spot in the Champions League knockout stages. However, achieving the unprecedented quadruple remains a monumental challenge, as no English club has ever accomplished this feat
