Man-City and Portuguese defender Ruben Dias has been named the current best defender by English pundits.
In recent comparisons, Dias was even rated ahead of Liverpool's Virgil Van Dijk.
The Ruben Dias effect
Ever since his move from Portuguese side Benfica, Dias has brought a whole lot to the Manchester City side.
His visible contribution has ranged from a more defensive organization to, well-orchestrated leadership and defensive physicality as well.
Moving on, the reign of Dias has seen City go to the first Champions League final in their history. In a season where the Portuguese man has without a doubt been the most standout performance.
Ex Liverpool international gives kudos to Ruben Diaz
The performance of Dias has brought him to the spotlight. So much that Ex Liverpool defender Jimmy Carragher, professed his admiration for the player.
This is noteworthy because Carragher played with a rival team, Liverpool.
Many expected Carragher to dish out reasons why Van Dijk should be rated ahead of Dias. However, the reverse was the case. The Ex-Liverpool legend professed love for the City man.
In the same remark, Carragher not only rated Dias the best defender currently, but he also went on to tag him as the best premier league player of the season. Definitely some huge remarks there from the Ex-Liverpool international.
Conclusion
Without a doubt, Dias has been in fine form for the Citizens. Still, he has a lot to do to be placed at Van Dijk's level.
Among his many tasks, winning the champions league tops the charts. Dias is showing a great attitude, he is in the finals of the champions league.
In line with that, we keep our fingers crossed to see how events pan out.
