Liverpool's Andy Robertson sends Alphonso Davies message and names best left-backs in world football

Liverpool star Andrew Robertson has named Ben Chilwell, Alphonso Davies and Jordi Alba as the best three left-backs in the world.

The Reds man has been one of the best players in his position over the last three years, helping Liverpool reach two Champions League finals and finally end their wait for a Premier League title.

Roberton has registered 28 Premier League assists alone since he joined from Hull City in 2017, including 12 this season.

He was named in the PFA and Premier League Team of the Season this season as well as FIFA's Team of the Year for 2019.

With Davies, in particular, taking the world by storm with his performances for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and Champions League, many already regard the Canadian alongside Robertson, as the Liverpool man does himself.

When asked for his top three left-backs at current, the Reds defender also opted for Chilwell, who has been heavily linked with a move from Chelsea to Leicester City, as well as Barcelona man Alba.

"Yeah, don't expect me to do that anytime, that was just incredible the way he took five or six out with one passage of play," Robertson told BT Sport when asked about Davies' performance against Barcelona.

"He's a phenomenal player, somebody I enjoy watching and I think the whole world is enjoying watching him at the minute and I'm no different.

"I think Alphonso Davies is already world-class and he can only get better.

"Ben Chilwell, I love watching in the Premier League and then I would say, Jordi Alba. The more experienced one of the three I would say.

"Maybe coming near the end of his career but what a career he has had. Him and Marcelo took left-backs to a whole new level."
