Liverpool is hosting Lille at Anfield in a UEFA Champions League group stage clash, part of the competition's seventh round. This match will hold special significance for two of the Reds’ players: goalkeeper Alisson Becker and defender Virgil van Dijk.
Details. The Brazilian goalkeeper and the Dutch defender will both mark their 50th appearances for Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League.
This will be only the second time in the club's history that two players reach this milestone in the same game. The first occurred in March 2008, when Steven Gerrard and Sami Hyypiä achieved this feat together against Inter Milan.
Reminder. It was recently reported that Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal is seriously considering a move for Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.
