Better Than Cristiano Ronaldo? Virgil Van Dijk Boasts Micheal Jordan-Like Heading Leap

Cristiano Ronaldo may be known as one of the deadliest players when it comes to heading, but he could well have a rival in the aerial duels department in Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk. Check it out!

Van Dijk, who has been named one of the finalist for The Best Fifa Men's Player 2019 award, wowed his teammates while on national team duty recently.

The Dutchman showcased his superior aerial ability in a training session as he ran and leaped to head a ball that was hung up high in a passageway.

Considered by many to be the best defender in the world at the moment, Van Dijk stands at a towering 1.93 meters tall, and it's clear to see how he easily cleared the ceiling ball.

Check it out!

Is Van Dijk the best defender in the world right now?
