While everyone's eyes were on Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid, the parallel began with one of the most anticipated matches of the day, Liverpool vs Fulham, in a match corresponding to the first leg semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, or also known as EFL Cup.
Liverpool started the game with a new lineup, as it should be remembered that Mohamed Salah is not available with Liverpool because he is with Egypt competing in the Africa Cup, known as the AFCON, which begins in a couple of days. Egypt is one of the main candidates.
Barely 20 minutes into the game, Fulham took advantage of a terrible mistake by Virgil Van Dijk, who tried to clear the ball with his head but failed, and the ball fell to the feet of Andreas Pereira, who sent a cross to Willian and They scored 1-0 at Anfield. Thus, although it is only the first leg, Fulham threatens to leave Liverpool without the EFL Cup.
They said that Van Dijk was the best in the world:
Virgil Van Dijk was the best defender in the world in 2019, when he made Liverpool champion of the UEFA Champions League. Even though he has maintained a high level, fans on social media argue that he is already overrated and that he is not the best in the world. A subjective and controversial topic....
