Virgil van Dijk renewed Liverpool rivalry in unseen Argentina tunnel bust-up

The ill-tempered World Cup clash between the Netherlands and Argentina sparked plenty of headlines after a number of different high-profile players clash with each other given what was on the line.

Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk was no different, with his most notable outburst coming when he barged Leandro Paredes to the floor after the Juventus loanee booted the ball into the Netherlands bench after hacking down Nathan Ake. However, the defender also renewed an old rivalry with a former Premier League foe.

Van Dijk is a Liverpool legend nowadays, having helped guide the Reds to both a Premier League and Champions League title. In that time, their main rival to the league crown has been Manchester City, with both teams contesting some fierce battles in recent years.
