Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has taken a fresh dig at Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.
After the taunts of teammate Dejan Lovren, Van Dijk has joined in by insisting Ramos is not the best defender in the world.
A reporter declared Ramos 'the best defender in the world' and Van Dijk 'the most expensive', which saw the Dutchman reply: "The second thing is right (laughs).
"But Ramos is not the best. A great player and I respect what he has accomplished, but he is not my type of central defender. The teammate of Ramos at Real Madrid, Raphael Varane, is my favorite.
"An excellent defender, young and who has won well."
