Virgil Van Dijk had a priceless reaction after seeing Alexis Mac Allister's screensaver during Liverpool medicals.

Mac Allister joined Liverpool at the end of last season from Brighton and Hove Albion and is set to provide Jurgen Klopp with the much needed options in midfield.

It was a reunion of sorts with Van Dijk with the two having been on separate sides on multiple occasions- most importantly at the 2022 Qatar World Cup quarterfinal match.

Netherlands vs Argentina

The towering Van Dijk captained his Dutch side when they lined up against Argentina. Mac Allister was a beneficiary of Giovanni Lo Celso's injury before the tournament and ended up playing every game at the tournament.

The Netherlands vs Argentina game is best remembered for the high octane emotions that ran throughout the game.

The Albiceleste thought they had the game under wraps only for Wout Weghorst to score two quickfire goals and force extra time and subsequent penalties.

Van Dijk missed a spot kick as Emi Martinez came up grand for his side to sail through. Lionel Messi, in uncharacteristic fashion, mocked Louis Van Gaal and the Dutch bench.

Argentina would go all the way and lift the title. Mac Allister's photo kissing the trophy ended up as his screensaver with Van Dijk admiring it.

Liverpool players are back in camp for their preseason. They'll open their Premier League campaign against Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge.
