Virgil van Dijk’s says views on ‘great rivalry’ with Man City have not changed despite guilty verdict
The Liverpool captain refused to comment on City’s off-field situation with the rival club appealing against the guilty verdict handed to them by an independent commission over breaching financial rules
Virgil van Dijk, a Liverpool player, has stated that his opinions on the "great rivalry" between Liverpool and Manchester City have not altered despite the latter being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules. The City were found guilty of inflating their income by over £900 million over a nine-year period, which provided them with a significant spending advantage and helped them win the Premier League title against Liverpool in two consecutive years.
Despite the damning verdict, Van Dijk affirmed that their battles on the pitch were enjoyable and that the off-field issues are for others to judge. He also hinted that he might share his thoughts on the situation once the verdict is final.
