MONACO – UEFA’s player of the year awards have gone to defenders, with Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Lyon’s Lucy Bronze handed the accolade.

Van Dijk won the men’s award after helping Liverpool win its sixth European title in June. It is the latest individual acknowledgment for the Dutchman, who was voted player of the year by his fellow professionals in England last season.

Van Dijk, who joined Liverpool from Southampton in 2018 for 75 million pounds (then around $100 million), beat Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to the honour at a ceremony in Monaco.
