Liverpool enjoyed a stellar year in 2019 as they won the Champions League and Club World Cup – and their players have continued to receive the plaudits for their efforts.
Sadio Mane was named African Player of the Year with Mohamed Salah runner-up, while Virgil van Dijk finished as runner-up to Lionel Messi in both the Ballon d’Or and FIFA’s The Best.
