Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says his view of the club’s “great rivalry” with Manchester City does not change after City is found guilty in relation to breaches of financial rules.
All outlets report that van Dijk declines to comment on City’s off-field situation while the matter is still subject to appeal. He is described as keeping his focus on the sporting rivalry itself rather than the commission’s decision.
The Mirror adds that van Dijk says he will “definitely” comment on the verdict once the appeal process is completed. Yahoo Sports and The Independent emphasize his refusal to speak on City’s case during the active legal/appeals stage, with City understood to be challenging the outcome.
