Dias' remarkable campaign for the Blues has sparked debate between him and Van Dijk, who unfortunately missed most of last season through injury.
But the Portuguese was unable to help his team to become European champions with the Dutchman on the tip of tongues across Liverpool.
They compared their respective Champions League final outings - with Van Dijk picking up the 'Man of the Match' award for his masterful performance against Tottenham.
Don't ever compare Dias to Van Dijk ever again. :sweat_smile: pic.twitter.com/ViDWisdc8d

Can we stop the Dias/van Dijk & Mahrez/Salah comparisons now? Two of them have Champions League winning medals.

One wrote: "Not every defenders can be cool as cucumber in a UCL final , get a clean sheet and MOTM."
A second tweeted: "Peak Van Dijk is ten times the player Ruben Dias is."
A third added: "Dias this, Dias that, van Dijk kept a clean sheet in Champions League Final. Long way to go for Dias already."
