The 19-year-old showed that he was human after all with a clumsy mistake for the Netherlands at Guimaraes
Matthijs de Ligt went from zero to hero in the semifinal victory of the League of 3 Nations of the Netherlands on England.
The 19-year-old Dutch defender is sought after by prominent figures like Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Manchester United after an incredible season with Ajax.

De Ligt fought against England in the first period
But he showed that he was human after all, taking a bad hit in the box before dropping Marcus Rashford, who converted the resulting penalty to Guimaraes.
Then, a few moments later, Jadon Sancho gave him the coconut while Rashford almost doubled his total.
However, De Ligt showed his clbad and redeemed his mistake with a brilliant ball header, before mistakes by John Stones and Ross Barkley sent the Netherlands to the League of Nations final.
Nevertheless, his program in the first period was the kind of defense that was commonplace at Old Trafford this season, the Red Devils having conceded 54 goals in the Premier League.

Ligt recently revealed that Rashford was the toughest striker he had ever encountered.
During an interview with Ajax TV, De Ligt was asked who was his most formidable opponent. After a moment of reflection, he replied with an ironic smile.
"It must be Rashford from Manchester United," he said. "Excellent player, fast technical skills."
