Virgil van Dijk may be aiming to be the star of the show at Wembley in front of 90,000 fans again on Sunday.
But he prepared for the big moment by sitting among a few dozen proud parents watching another member of the Van Dijk family taking centre stage.
The Liverpool captain didn’t spend his Thursday night this week poring over videos of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak ahead of the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
Instead, the match winner from the Reds’ win over Chelsea in the same game last season was at a school play production of the film Fantastic Mr Fox which his daughter Jadi was starring in after a recovery session in the pool with his son.
Some of it is to point out corner taker Kostas Tsimikas’ bizarre celebration but the moment is special for the Dutchman as he lifted the trophy with former boss Jurgen Klopp.
It would turn out to be the final trophy of the German's tenure at the club.
“Obviously I've seen it maybe a little bit more than I would normally because friends have been sending me it because of Kostas,” said Van Dijk.

Van Dijk can join an illustrious list of Liverpool captains who have lifted more than one trophy if the Reds win on Sunday.
If they don’t, he still looks set to join an even more exclusive club and lift a league title in May
Liverpool are 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League table as they close in on their 20th title and just their second in 35 years.
“To be in a position now where I'm the captain of Liverpool Football Club, but also of Holland, these things I would have never imagined when I was younger,” he added.
