🔴 Historic Night for Van Dijk as Liverpool Run Riot in Europe

In a stunning Champions League display, Virgil van Dijk carved his name into the record books during Liverpool’s emphatic 6–0 victory over Qarabag at Anfield. The Dutch centre-back achieved something never seen before in the competition — becoming the first defender in Champions League history to register three assists in a single match.

Van Dijk’s creativity was central to the Reds’ dominance, as he set up three of Liverpool’s goals:

✨ First, he provided the pass that led to Alexis Mac Allister’s opener in the 15th minute.
✨ His second assist came midway through the second half for Hugo Ekitike’s goal.
✨ Finally, in stoppage time, his laid-off found Federico Chiesa for Liverpool’s sixth strike.

This remarkable contribution not only showcased Van Dijk’s vision and passing range but also played a huge role in securing Liverpool’s spot in the Champions League Round of 16 with authority. Such an offensive impact from a centre-back is virtually unheard of at this level, underlining just how special the performance was.
